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















Transporting some of the helicopters across the street to the airport.

The weather was great ?? What part of Canada are you from, the rain forest? (been raining here all week)
Sorry, can't see your pic's here at work.
Hope to be at the show on Sunday, maybe I'll see you there.

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.
