We rode around outside on a Trolly for a tour of other airplanes they are restoring. This is one of the Blue Angels. On the right we are pretending to fly a plane. Several of the planes in this museum used to be on the bottom of Lake Michigan. During WWII they used Lake Michigan to train the pilots how to land and take off of carriers. Many planes ended up in the lake, but most of the pilots were rescued! This place is amazing.

ReplyDeleteYou are doing so well with your blog Lexie. I love the information about the air museum. Uncle Rick and I both want to visit on your (and grandpa) recommendation. You two looked cool flying the jet.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next blog.

Nice pics!On the first it really seems you are taking control of the plane: you are very busy with all the checks before to do the take off, don't you ? :)
