Going to Birmingham and the surroundings (hotel at Warrick - Leamington) in a work related trip next week. I wonder if there are any nice small airfields of local flight clubs or such, aviation or history museums or other nice stuff to see for guys interested in aviation and aviation history?

Cheers,
Grendel

if you click BHM there should be a link at the bottom for the southern museum of southern flight in the south, when i was there it was very nice, mostly jets & ww2 trainers

Wrong Birmingham there Debonair. I believe he is talking about Birmingham, England; although the Southern Museum of Flight here in Birmingham, AL is an outstanding place to spend a few hours on a rainy day. My oldest son loves to go there and walk through. They are also putting a B-25 on display that got pulled out of a lake up in the Carolina's and it should be nice once its finished.

United Kingdom's Birmingham, definitely

Looks like there's plenty interesting sights around Birmingham. Two aviation museums. Mmmm.
