MISSION STATEMENT:

What was here yesterday probably has no bearing on what is here today.

What you see today will have no bearing on what you see here tomorrow

Friday Cat

 


Yep, he’s back for an encore. 
This photo first appeared somewhere on September 17, 2014, when he was somewhere around seven months old.

Timely . . . Sort of

There are more Museum of the USAF photos, but accessing them is difficult at the moment. 

So since it’s that time of day, here’s a shot of the Sun setting behind the Rocky Mountains that was taken as we escaped. Cheyenne, Wyoming the other day.

For the Sarge.

Back to side one

 It’s not all fun and games up there.



There are lots of things with which to contend.

A different side

 Today we’re with MB’s son’s family. 
The youngest is in blue.

Everything in life is a side trip

 




Everyone knows about this B-17 Flying Fortress  …right?




Don’t think too much about that post title as you remember twenty years ago today.
For some of us it is like yesterday.

A little more on the side

 

I would complain about how the blooger is treating my posts, but recent experiences with Gurgle Maps has given me an appreciation for how really decent these folks are.




I’ve a curiosity and some knowledge of the B-25 as it is the type of aircraft, if not the specific model, that my father was in when he was killed “flying the hump” from India to China.

Back to the side trip

 While we try find our way back to America, please enjoy the Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson AFB, in Dayton, OH. 

Were arriving at more modern aircraft. 



Don’t go away, there’s more to come.

Meanwhile. . .

Your intrepid travelers decided to give all y’all a wee break.
We gonna mess with the blogger by posting a panorama picture from a really neat “0” gauge train layout we saw. 
The layout is twice the size of what is in the picture. 
It’s (the post) an experiment.

So many planes, so little time



 We only had about 1 1/2 hours to even attempt to cover 19 acres of indoor displays.

At this point we have reached the late 1930s. 

It must be obvious that we’re going to be back, huh?

Today we’re in Ontario, headed north, saw this cute li’l waterfall. 

Inglis Falls, Owens Sound, Ontario, Canada
