Mighty 8th Air Force Heritage Museum

Right outside of Savannah, in Pooler, GA, is the Mighty 8th Air Force Heritage Museum, which is located right behind the airport.  As soon as you pull into the parking lot, you are greeted with planes from the World War II era.

Inside of the museum, you'll see in an airplane hangar other planes from the era, as well as other artifacts such as bomb shells, uniforms, etc.  In addition, you'll be able to learn about the history of the Air Force in relation to World War II and see the contributions by various groups of Americans.  You'll even have the opportunity to enter a Gunship Simulator and show off your fighting skills on the gun.

For a $10 admission, this is a museum that definitely provides value.  Also, since it is right near the airport, it's a great place to stop for an hour or so before you'd head to the airport to catch your flight home.
