In fairne...Oh, the experience wasn't that bad. In fairness to the guy, he wasn't being paid to run an airshow or give tours...I just thought it was funny he spent more words bitching about his day than he could have used to tell what the plane was. In fact he didn't have to say anything at all. There were other folks there to oblige me. But I can understand having a frustrating day at work.<br /><br />When we went to the Mighty 8th Air Force Museum in Savannah, Georgia, we had an absolutely marvelous experience. There were actual WWII veterans on hand to talk about their bombing runs over Europe, and flying the hump in Burma. The things these folks went through for us, really, go beyond heroic. I think that's why the old planes mean so much, when we see them.Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975027530244662003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429197454576425211.post-68895174459479020352010-09-28T06:44:34.978-04:002010-09-28T06:44:34.978-04:00I am sorry you had such an experience. There was ...I am sorry you had such an experience. There was a wwII air show here resently and they could not have been more accomadating. It was very surreal to crawl through those and hear of all the details. Now when I see movies and pictures I will know what it really is all about. Gives new meaning to what our boys went through. It is a shame they work at an airport and have no heart for such beauty. Why do people have to be such jerks and spoil the experience for others?Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08228454366955268540noreply@blogger.com
