Ray chose the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison TX. 50,00 square feet of hangars were filled with aviation history. Sopwith Camel - yep. P-51 Mustang, Fokkers, Spitfires, and more.
I had Ray pose in front of a Bell helicopter since Kevin works for Bell.
We enjoyed walking around the spaces and appreciating the zoom power. Take a Sunday drive and enjoy a jaunt in your own backyard (i.e. within an hour away).
This reminded me Joanne of my late husband. He used to work in an aircraft factory and worked on the first British Concorde.
ReplyDeletePleased that both you and Ray enjoyed your day.
Yvonne.
plenty of aviation history in England.
DeleteHi Joanne - yes a To Be Seen list is definitely going to be a club! I think there'll be a few of us!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I could enthuse about a Take Flight place though ... but I do go down the Seafront for our Airborne - where lots of 'pretty planes' are on view as too flying ones ... but an art gallery or two, a few musuems ... and lots else!
Glad you had a happy day out - cheers Hilary
it was something different, that's for sure.
DeleteSounds like a fun place to visit. My husband and father would both enjoy seeing those planes.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the history
DeleteAlways like seeing old planes. Definitely need to visit since it is my flight museum.
ReplyDeleteyes, I looked for a plaque in your honor!
DeleteI know Ray's not a small guy (right?) so that's a big helicopter.
ReplyDeletePS I have exciting news for you!
