I saw other posters bring up their museums so I thought I drop my own. With Intrepid temporarily out of action, I'm stuck with the Cradle of Aviation museum, mostly dedicated to NY-built airplanes. You've got an F-14, a Warthog, a swept wing F-84 and a Thud among other glorious and gorgeous piece of tin. Ticket prices are high, but they've got the nose-section of that El-Al 707 that had been in the Intrepid, but this time you can actually sit in cockpit and play pilot. I'm hoping they might "borrow" some of Intrepid's collection - including its Phantom and its Blackbird (apparently an A-12, and not an SR-71 as I'd always thought). Space is limited, though there's a big open area next to the museum where they seem to park some of their planes during restoration.
