Connecticut Air & Space Museum

[AIRIC]

Bernadette and I visited the Connecticut Air & Space Museum today and checked out the Sikorsky Memorial Airport in preparation of the British Invasion Wings & Wheels show this weekend. We had the pleasure of getting the royal tour by Drew aka Cherrybomber13. The weather was great and we are looking forward to the weekend.

Some images from today

Considering the past 5 days of our vacation I have driven through monsoon rains the weather was great because it did not rain today

We spent the day moving equipment around and I was glad to show Eric and his wife around the shop. They can vouch that we are the best kept secret air museum around.
