What I found out
about the DFW area, there is quite a few airport museums. I ended up going to the
Addison museum instead of the one at Love Field. Lesson learned. So I ended up driving more than needed. I
got to the lecture late. I bought a
couple of books and found a seat.
The lecture (more guide lines I’m bending. I rarely even want to listen to a talk/discussion/lecture)
was actually very good. I’ve been
fascinated by the SR-71 since high school. It’s big. It’s fast. And it’s still
classified. I was in Tucson for a long time.
Tucson hosts the Pima County Air and Space Museum. My wife got to see me 'geek out' when
I saw a SR-71 there.
After the discussion about the SR -71, I met a fellow hound
and we got our books signed. Well, not
really signed. The books were pre-signed in the shop. I did get a book personalized for the wife’s
Uncle. He is retired Air Force. And I got
a photo signed.
When he saw the photo, he asked if I was at that lecture. I said no, I found the photo on the Google. He was surprised things like that could be found there.
A full day of great events. If only I could wrangle a ride
in the Blackbird…
