hey, my brother went there when he visited. Where does dad live?
What an interesting museum, I would love to go! The history of flight is very interesting to me!
Great pics!
@jillcarmel - Dad lives in Everett, WA... Dad worked for Boeing for many years and they sent him to Germany & Belguim as a Field Service Representative and also to Dallas, TX as a field rep to Braniff (sp) Airlines. Remember those days? (I even lived in Irving, TX for about a year out of High School.) I lived in the Seattle area while growing up. Tom was my next door neighbor. And we had all of our babies there before moving East.
@xThexGodfatherx - Yes, it was very enjoyable. Only one thing... one day isn't enough time. We needed another day for the visit. There was so much to see and some things to do also. Dad says they keep adding to it too!
I stayed home with the blind dog. Mom
@tomatolady - And you were missed! Thanks, Mom, for the "mini"!
my dad worked for Hughes Aircraft and I heard that you got our Spruce goose up there too.
My dad was in WW2 and after the war he worked in Ca. and that is where I grewup near LAX
Your dad is nice looking and young looking- sure he's not your brother?
Good museums are difficult to see in one day, maybe you will go back....I went to Washington DC and the aerospace section of the Smithsonian is awesome! Thanks for your kind words!

That looked like an SR-71 "Blackbird" you were sitting in. Those are my favorite planes! Was it the same one as in the background of the first picture?
@CrazyWiz - Actually it wasn't the same one, but the one I was sitting in was only a few planes away on the same floor. I don't remember all the planes names. I should know more than I do since my dad used to tell me about planes parts, etc., when I was growing up. Rudders, and Ailerons, drag and lift, etc. Yeah, I should know more than I do. You guys are amazing the way you remember all that kind of stuff.
great pictures.
@CrazyWiz - Did you know the original designation was RS-71? Pres. Johnson screwed up in a press conference and called it the SR-71. So he wouldn't look like the 'tard he was,the Skunkworks team changed the name.
@buddly47 - Very interesting!!! Cover, cover, cover.... I wish we could all just be the imperfect humans we are and truthful about it!
@buddly47 - I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me.
