Was out riding the trails at the farm yesterday n two of the planes from there flew over.  It was hard to see them well but it looked like it might have been a P51 and a Corsair.

It could be either one.  They've got a Mustang, a Corsair, and a P40.  That's a real nice Museum at Da Beach and I hope to visit it when I come out that way for a visit.

The Museum is getting a lot of free advertising thanks to the Great Planes TV program.

Bro. Sleep, I've been out there many times. They have got a great museum. Most of the aircraft are outside. It can really get hot out there in the summer. The winter is the best time to visit, not as many tourist and the weather is cooler.

That whole area is graveled so you can walk around all the planes. They've got FDR's plane and Eisenhower's plane open for tours. FDR's plane has an elevator in it for his wheelchair.

Here a fun one...

http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/air_space/4304207.html

Didn't waste ma time looking over the litaney of reader comments, I'm sure there are some real gems.  My Grandad worked for Northrop directly after Big II up until he retired in the 70's.  He never got ta laughin so hard when someone on TV talked about UFOs an a pitcher would come on the screen.  Often times he say, "hey, I worked on that thing!"

Saw a interesting program once about all the tecnology the nazis were messin with.  Said they destroyed most of it bafore we could get our hands on it, but not all of it.  Had some pitchers of some realy strange aircraft looked a lot like saucers complete with nazi markings.  It was on History Channel.  Went on ta show that us earth bound human beans have been fiddlin with the stuff fer many years.

Last UFO I saw was one of them fancy two sting air-o-batic kites with a light stick on it.  Was at a Rec area/Lake north of Lincoln a few years ago.  Lets just say I scared the guys who had it half to death when I hit them with the beam from a 6 D-Cell Mag-Lite. ;D

An old deer hunter is sneakier than a couple a half drunk guys with a kite. ;D

reminds me of when we moved up here on the mountain, people was a little different, first one I got to know real good,  I asked if any body up here had ever seen a UFO,  answer was,  oh that'd be ole Travis, he saw one back in 84, makin a pass over the mountain with a light shinnin down,  later I asked if anybody had ever seen a bigfoot up around here,  answer was, well back in the early 90's  ole Travis, one night when he was coon huntin,  tracked one for 14 miles up along the Mulberry river,  :o

needless to say, when ole Travis comes around, I kinda keep one eye on him and watch what he's sayin. ;D
We done it for Dixie,  nothing else
