You'd absolutely love the Military Aviation Museum down here in Virginia Beach, as their philosophy is every aircraft in their collection be kept in or close to flight-worthy status. They even have their own outfit out at the Virginia Beach Airport (Fighter Factory) whose entire job is to keep the birds in rude health and ready to fire up. You walk around and you see drip trays, you see scuff marks and bits of chipped paint, even oil marks on the Skyraider (a plane famous for throwing oil everywhere). About the only plane in their collection that I personally know is not flight-worthy is their P-63 King Cobra.
