I have been to the South Dakota Air and Space
Museum before. I searched through my various blogs, hoping that I would find a suitable post, but no such item seems to exist. I almost wonder if I'm not remembering some other fleet of planes in a scorching hot field. Could be -- I've seen a few.
I walked around half-heartedly, amazed that people actually flew these old planes in wartime. They looked so big and heavy, even those from the more "recent" VietNam era. I thought about the pilots and flight crew, wondering about their stories but not curious enough to look them up.
Bob walked merrily through the exhibit, looking at every last plane and missile. He posed with planes and read every aircraft description. He explained lift and some other principles of flight to me, for the nth time in the last three decades.The sun beat down on both of us and the few visitors on this Labor Day.
All the aircraft had some kind of South Dakota connection, though I'm not sure what it was. I wish I had more to say but I don't, except that I was hot and cranky by the time we got back in the car.
Not sounding like Paris.
