Well we had a great time even though it started out a bit rocky..

We found out that that Uno's is closed down.. Luckily there was a 99 restaurant close by which was a great plan B..

The aviation museum was a small building, but very informative..
Pete had a great time talking with the other old salt Mr Johnson and his wife..

We had our own private tour of the exhibits..

Great to see Ken, Pete, Dan and Terra again..

Here are some photos of the day

This is what happens when a restaurant know some big eaters are coming.

They close up shop..



Here is BIGKEN trying his hand at flying the cessna on the simulator..

Let's just say he made it into the air, but failed misserabley at landing.
Tough to land when you can't find the airport..



Here is Pete relaxing after the one room tour..



These are a couple of pictures of the displays.

Had a good time yesterday at the GTG...what a tiny hidden gem the NH Aviation Museum is!!! Some nice displays...and great folks who work there!!!
Mr. and Mrs Johnson and Mr. Fortin are passionate about their jobs and very cordial. I would highly recommend that you stop by if you are able to.

Thanks to Don for buying lunch...free and food are two of my favorite words. Put them together and this boy is in heaven!!!

Thanks for waiting for the late arrival.
Even though I couldn't make it to the museum I (we) still had a good time filling our face and chatting.
