"Today is a Good Day to Drive!" .....Van-Go

Tickets.... You enter through the hanger... Past a few vendors... And out to the tarmac. Airplanes!! AIRPLANES!!   (If you want lots of information on planes and flyers you can go to  airfiesta.org.  )This is the Extra 300/SK flown by Mike "Spanky" Galloway. Bi-planes old a special place because our friend Pat has one and has taken Kathy for a flight doing barrel rolls and spins.  We also both rode one in Key West with our little dog JMe; that is another story. There were some great planes and the announcers were excellent at telling all about them and their pilots as well as the history of the aircraft. The RV Monoplane flown by  Joe "Rifle" Shetterly. The patterns look great in the sky. We were lucky to have a slightly overcast day so we didn't have to look in the sun. Zoom zoom... A Stearman bi-plane like Pat's! Watch out for the balloon! We enjoyed a giant turkey leg; oh so good! This one looks like the DC 3 Pat and Barbara were married in!! Loved this l

The Brownsville Ship Channel is home to shrimp boats, dolphins, and birds. We arrived early because we want to see the final voyage of the USS Forrestal, a Navy Carrier.   USS Forrestal, first supercarrier, begins final voyage to scrapyardwww.dailymail.co.ukThe Forrestal was untied from its berth at the former Naval Ship Yard in the pre-dawn darkness on Tuesday in Philadelphia... We watched the sun set and the moon rise. Morning was a fog and that delayed the voyage,but we waited and soon others came to watch too. Can you see it? It is getting closer. Here give it some prospective. Farewell Forrestal. http://youtu.be/9Kf_WUi2NOA
