Delta Flight Museum
"This could be the best aviation museum you've never heard of. I'm chomping at the bit to see a few highlights, including:
-The cockpit from the first Convair 880-22, once the world's fastest airliner
-A nose-to-wing section of the first L-1011 TriStar that served as a Hollywood movie set
-The airline's beloved "Spirit of Delta," a huge 1980s-era Boeing 767
-Arguably the world's most meticulously restored DC-3, among history's most important airliners"
"But the best interactive exhibit is an actual flight deck simulator that was used to train Delta 737-200 pilots. If you're over age 16, a rare opportunity to "fly" the simulator for 45 minutes will cost you about $400."

They've done pretty good for a crop dusting outfit from Monroe.

I was at the grand opening, it is a really impressive facility.

I was at the Boeing museum a few weeks ago, crawling around an airplane I used to fly, the guy that let me into it said they were getting ready to cut it up for parts to restore an older model of it

That looks awesome... I think I will go in November

Been there. Not a bad museum, but doesn't compare to the National Naval Aviation in Pensacola. Not a bad one in Warner Robbins, either. I also like Udvar-Hazy and also the one in Dayton, OH.
