Military Aviation Museum

B-17
Dad by the B-17
Yesterday we went to the Military Aviation Museum. They have a collection of WWI and WWII planes. Some were originals, some were replicas. It was really interesting. I got to look inside a B-17 like grandpa Bruce used to fly, and walk among the other planes in the hanger. They had the real plane belonging to the Duke of Windsor. He's the one that abdicated the throne. It had a ZIPPER! that opened the fabric to access the engine. Very unique.

  1. Way cool! Our girls were just asking about planes to Papa Hoffer the other day. Good times.
