January 11, 2011 – Do you have a License to Fly This Bird!? – Rolling Shoe Box
I dare say that since I am sitting next to you, I do hope you passed flight school at a minimum. You do not look as worried as I feel, so I guess I will trust you. Just the last few thoughts that went through my mind as Sarah took me for a tour of this old Naval bucket of bolts that was once a plane before we got at it. Sarah worked very hard today, got up and had her school work started by 5am. At 9:30am she gave me an endurance run, and took me on a 1.5 mile one hour walking tour of the park we are in. The cold weather was impressive considering that we are in Florida. This afternoon we took a tour of the Naval Aviation Museum on the Navy base. The museum was very impressive and we greatly enjoyed the history of military flight presented there. We learned a lot about blimps, jet engines, and rotary engines, and Sarah saw her first piston, fuel valve and crank shaft in a twin rotary engine. Over all it turned out to be a productive day in spite of the cold. Tomorrow we will be in another state and still cold I am sure!
Good evening and good night…
