EYO Scout Outing - Pima Air & Space Museum


Today the Eleven-Year-Old Scouts went on a trip to the Pima Air & Space Museum. I was fortunate enough to get the afternoon off so that I could go with them. David really enjoyed seeing all the planes and I enjoyed telling him about them.


There were a few planes the scouts could actually climb into and explore. A retired Air Force One from the JFK era was on display. After seeing how tight the accomodations were in that plane, I don't feel so bad about flying commercial.



I could see David as the next Top Gun ... "I feel the need ... the need for speed ... "


We see A-10's flying around all the time. It was cool for David to see one up close. He was impressed about how much I knew about all the different planes (I might as well enjoy impressing him while I can ... in a few more years when he's a teen he will barely recognize my existence).

Another fun outing with David and the EYO Scouts.

That looked like fun! I would have loved to see the retired Air Force One plane. I think you're right about having a future 'Maverick' or 'Goose' on your hands!!!
