Warner Robins Air Museum - http://www.museumofaviation.org/
Free Museum - The Museum of Aviation, in Warner Robbins, is a top-rate place to see and learn about U.S. Army and U.S.
Air Force history. There are 93 displays, both inside and out, with many hands-on things for adults and kids alike to do.
From huge bombers, to World War II fighters, to helicopters and missle drones, these 51 acres take a while to go over,
but it's worth it. Here you can see first hand how military aircraft have changed. It's also rather awe inspiring to stand
next to some incredibly large aircraft.

Sit on the front porch where Duane Allman and Berry Oakley
whiled away all those hot Southern afternoons, making music and making friends and making history. Walk up the steps to that
porch and you can almost hear the footsteps of Jaimoe or Butch Trucks or Chuck Leavell walking up beside you. Those bells
you hear in the distance of a Sunday morning? They'll ring forever in Dickey Betts' “Blue Sky.” Find out what
it was about the place that made it magic, that made it special, that made it home—so much so that when Gregg Allman
wrote, “Please Call Home,” this is the home he was writing about. This is where the journey began, and for those
of us who took that journey with them, this one little stretch of Vineville Avenue in Macon, Georgia is the road that goes
on forever.
