WWII display

Tuesday we went to a WWII aircraft display at the Aransas County Airport. They had 3 planes to see, a B-24, B-17 and a TP-51c Mustang. They also had a biplane that you could take a ride in for only 60 dollars, which was very tempting.  You could also schedule a ride in one of the big planes for 450 dollars-ouch!  But that would be cool, too!

We spent about an hour there, going inside and seeing some of the tight quarters that the airman had to be in.  Vel got online, when we got home, to read some of the history of the planes. 

She read that they would be in the cramp gunner postions for 7-8 hours on missions. Wow, that's hard to imagine.

On our favorite street, we saw a front yard full of flowers. There were alot of the Bluebonnets, which is the Texas State flower. How pretty!!-M
