Lukas is getting older now and enjoyed discovering the many interesting aircraft and artifacts even more than he did on past visits. We got a special mini-tour of a workshop where they are restoring a B-17, which is a WWII-era bomber. There was a 500 lb. bomb standing up on end when you entered and I thought even if it were empty it has to weigh a lot. One of the workers showed Russell and Lukas that the bomb is made of papermache.
Lukas has been learning a little about the history of WWII and he liked seeing the P-40 War-hawk with the tiger teeth. He also looked for the roundels of the different countries on the planes.
Here's a picture of Lukas and me in front of a P-38 Lightning.

What a fun day you had! I'm so glad you went, even though it was raining cats and dogs.
What a great outing! Seems like you may have a future pilot on your hands :)
Wow that looks like fun! I'll have to take my boys there soon!
