There are many educational and scholarly sites, like the Aviation History Online Museum, the History of Aviation, Airports and Aircraft, and don’t forget the big museums like the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and the National Museum of the United States Air Force which offer resources for education and entertainment.
