This trip is a mix of business and pleasure. We took the Breeze out of the caves and dusted her off for the journey.
 |
| The caves are a pretty cool place: limestone caves that have a constant temperature year round without exposure to the elements. It's a great place to store our RV! |
 |
| We put in a new driveway so that we park the RV at home and pack/unpack for our trips. |
So we loaded up and headed to St. Louis to see our General Manager, Bob. That's our office in the background.
From there we headed across the Midwest on I-70. Georgy and I took pics out the windows while Mark did the driving.
We traveled from St. Louis to Dayton, OH to visit my Uncle Jerry and Aunt Carm.
I remember going to Wright Patterson Air Force Base as a kid and Mark had never seen the museum so we spent the day walking through the history of aviation.
 |
| From a replica of the kitty hawk, to dirigibles and early aircraft, it's all represented here! |
 |
| There were aircraft everywhere! Hanging from the ceiling, parked in the hangars and out on the tarmac. There are more than 350 aircraft on premise. We walked over 5 miles through the 3 hangars and didn't make it outside because of the heat. We did get the chance to see some RC airplanes that were performing outside the rv! |
 |
| The Sopwith Camel, important to aviation but probably had more popular appeal as Snoopy's aircraft of choice when fighting the Red Baron! |
 |
| The early wood propellers were works of art. |
 |
| This is the interior frame of a wing. I am just in awe of these early designers. |
 |
| This is an eerie and chilling reminder of the impact of atomic weaponry. |
 |
| More planes |
 |
| When I saw this ejector seat, all I could think of was a child safety seat. I wonder if Graco used these as their inspiration? |
The enormity of these missiles gave me pause.
 |
| Stealth! |
