John,
Pensacola would be easy. There's a great little mom and pop airport
"Ferguson", just west of P'Cola. Super folks, good fuel prices and
probably could have a rental waiting when we arrived. Went to the Naval
museum a coupla years back. Great stuff. They had one of the T28's I
used to work on, hanging from the ceiling. Just let me know when you
plan to go...
