We decided to spend the day in port and do some sightseeing. Our first stop was at the Advanced Redoubt of Fort Barrancas, part of a defensive network for the Pensacola Navy Yard. Next we spend time visiting the National Naval Aviation Museum. Here one can see all the aircraft used by the Navy and the Marines. The picture to the right is the SP-5B Marlin, the last operational flying boat in the U.S. Navy. 
Of course Ray and Henk had to have their picture taken as they came out of the Presidential helicopter. After visiting the indoor museum, we toured the outdoor part of the museum - a large collection of more aircraft. We finished the day with a drive to one of the barrier islands where we visited Fort Pickens.
