I decided that we should do something interesting and unique to Tucson today. So we went to the Pima Air Museum. We also took the boneyard tour. We had a good time looking at the old planes - SR-71, A10, B29, and a lot of other cool planes.
I was disappointed to see so many A10's at the boneyard. They were bringing more in, also. It's a great plane. Of coiurse it was cool to watch them fly over from the airbase.
They had a B17G there. They had a B17 pilot there who had flown 28 missions in Europe. He was 91 years old. I would have said he was in his 70's. He gave a really good talk. Afterwards I got to ask him a few questions about the plane and their operations. He had written a book. We bought a copy and had him sign it.
We were gone for at least 7 hours. When we got home we took the dog over to the park. She did a whole lot of retrieves. There was a little fuzzy dog there. It was hilarious to watch it chasing Lucy around while she was doing retrieves.
