[Chaos-l] National Aviation day

[Allen Davis]

Had a great time at the Wright Brothers National Monument today.  Met the
senior curator of Aeronautics at the National Air and Space Museum..he had
two interesting books.  Also gave an very interesting talk.  My father flew
a B17 in WWII and he talked to me a lot about that, and had an extensive
section in his history of aviation about WWII planes and what they meant to
the war effort.  A very nice and down to earth guy.

 

Met a lot of other folks...one guy was set up outside with a Coronado PST.we
talked at length...turns out he wants to do a star party at the Monument and
I told him I would help and go if that happened.

 

Really a cool place..lots of neat talks and I learned more than on any
previous visit.  Lots of kids building kites and hearing about the future of
flight and space from NASA reps.  

 

A really wonderful day.   allen
