Can somebody provide an advice how I as a dutch citizen can visit the museum? I do not have family or friends that can act as an escort. Does that mean that access for foreigners is completely impossible? Thanks Theo (Netherlands)

The blue Angels website indicates on 12/7/24 that you have to have your visa and other documents and you must be accompanied by a US citizen to gain access to the air viewing area. I did not see anything like that on the museum page. I am sure the museum has an email that you can contact them.. regarding watching the blue Angels fly overhead, I would think you could see the blue angels fly from anywhere in that area because they are so visible and they are very loud. You might contact the website to see if this information is up-to-date or if there are any exceptions.
With the new entrance requirements for the museum, as a person visiting from Canada, it says you need to be accompanied by someone with DoD clearance. Are there local operators with the necessary clearance that will escort you onto the base for a fee, kinda like a tourguide? I would think there must be some local entrepreneurs helping out foreign visitors by now, I really want to go there!!

I do not know the definitive answer to the question. It is a great museum and if you are already in the area, it is worth a try. They check your documents at the perimeter entrance gate. I would give them a call and see if you can meet the requirements. Good luck.
According to the Naval Aviation Museum site, you have to have a DoD ID in order to enter the NAS and therefore the museum. If this is something new, the Tripadvisor website should be updated.

I visited early July 2021. The DOD ID requirement was in p!ace at that time.
Can you now get entrance to the museum and grounds with just driver's license? I had heard it was closed to non military because of Fbi investigation. We have planned our whole trip to Florida on this museum.
