When we think of Goa, the only things that comes to mind are Sun Sand and Beaches. And then comes the churches, food, drinks and of course the night parties. These are enough for most of us to forget the world outside and get submerged into a different life altogether.
But, very few people know that amidst this colorful world lies a beautiful little place which offers something different to its visitors. Its different, because it offers every visitor a chance to experience a part of the wonderful world of Indian Naval Aviation. Yes, I am talking about the Naval Aviation Museum.
