Greybull, WY. Lots of neat equipment you'll find nowhere else, and you'll get closer to it while it's still "alive" than anywhere else, too. Stop at Cody while you're there; good museums.
Grangeville, ID. Good Mexican place at the east end of town at the top of the hill. Little bit of a walk, but Idaho has courtesy cars at all the airports, that can be rented for the day for local use. Well worth it.
Kanab, UT, while you visit and fly over the Grand Canyon, Bryce, and Zion. Go east and hit Monument Valley, and land at Monument. Half paved, one-way, and very scenic.
Polk City, FL. Kermit Weeks museum is worth the visit.
Chino was already mentioned, but I second it. (Caifornia). Go there for the day. SBA is a beautiful place, but expensive.
Yipsilanti, for the Yankee Air Museum.
Liberal Kansas, for the Liberal Air Museum.
Tuweep, AZ. If you go anywhere, land at Tuweep. Take a camera, and make sure your insurance is paid up. Call the GCNP to make sure it's open, too, and for darn sure, drag the strip before you land on it, especially if you have a fabric airplane. Also, take water and food, and carry enough fuel to go somewhere else...there's none at Tuweep.
Whiteriver, AZ. Get with a local before you go there; know what you're in for, but it's a great trip, and there's a good place (several, actually) just a short walk into town. It's on the Whiteriver Apache reservation.
About a million other places. Some of the best places don't have airports...and that's what makes them great to visit from the air. When you're flying, it really doesn't matter where you go or how long it takes to get there, so long as you're happy where you are.
