Aeroplanes

Warm and humid again!

Today we headed off to the Naval Air Station in Pensacola Florida to visit the Naval Air Museum. As we turned out of the campsite there were a number of bushes in full bloom, these have been filling out in the last few days, months ahead of when we can expect to see them back home.

We took the coast road to the base and went through security, the MP looked at my driving licence, asked if I had any weapons in the truck and waved me through!

The museum was excellent, a very large indoor facility with aircraft everywhere, on the floor andĀ hangingĀ from the ceiling. The aircraft ranged from the early 20th century through to the early 21st.

Of particular interest was the Wildcat, which Dad used to work on when he was in the Fleet Air Arm on Aircraft Carriers

Another great facility to visit, and to put the icing on the cake, no parking fee, no entrance fee.
