I want to throw out an invitiation to all of you.
My father was a pilot/navigator in the Air Force in, among other aircraft, the B-47, and was in SAC for a time. This was back between the 50s and 60s.
On March 29, 2008 (yes, that's the date of the next session) he has been invited to speak at the Air Force Museum at Hill Air Force Base. He will be discussing the aircraft and some of his experiences. I was unaware of this, but apparently the Museum puts these little talks on every few weeks/months.
The talk starts at 1:00 p.m. and will run about an hour. I've heard a lot of his stories and some of them are pretty spectacular; all are fairly interesting.
Entrance to the Museum is free of charge. I'm planning on taking the family up a couple hours early to walk through the exhibits. If you haven't been up there, they have some SPECTACULAR airplanes: everything from the Wright Flyer to an SR-71 Blackbird and just about everything in between from all different eras of flight. I know my boys are going crazy with anticipation.
With it being only an hour long presentation, I'm anticipating making it back in plenty of time to drop the family off and game my brains out that night. I'm sure my dad would be glad to see anyone there.
