Quad City Airshow & Golden Wings Museum Pix & Video

Yeah, when Paul has gas...well, let's just say that we use the word
"aftershock" out here in earthquake land...you...um get my (or rather
Paul's) drift.

"Plate tectonics" now has a whole different meaning for me...

Speaking of Golden Age aircraft, has anyone seen the birds at the museum
at Creve Coeur (1h0) in St. Louis? Three hangers packed with old birds,
some that Lindbergh flew, most all airworthy and flown yearly. Lots of
very cool planes in the other hangars also... Great stop if you are in the
area!

Yep, we've visited Creve Coeur twice, thanks to recommendations from this
group. It's a fantastic place, too!

I just spent some time poking around for pictures from Creve Coeur, but came
up empty. I *DID* find pix I took during the National Air Tour back in '03,
when many of these Golden Age of Flight planes actually flew across the
country. See: http://alexisparkinn.com/national_air_tour.htm

Hmmm, I think I have competition in the "who gets the lumpy pillow"
dept. Then again, knowing Paul, he's probably bringing two :-)

Pshaw. We're bringing our OWN lumpy pillows!

(BTW: Why not just have your wives sit on 'em during the flight from CA?
It's comfy, will raise them up a few inches -- and you get the benefit of
sleeping on your OWN pillow at OSH. To me, that's as important as the
mattress for a good night's sleep... And don't forget the ear plugs.
We've got a CASE of them in the hotel lobby, so you can "borrow" some of
ours... :-)

I got a bunch I took last spring while I was there. Inside shots, no captions, but some are pretty good...want them?

Do I want a copy of them? Nope.

However, if you've got a link to a webpage, I'd like to see them, though!

We had "the tent" up this afternoon for a little pre-flight inspection
....not that we think "this" (12x12) Willow Creek (Special Edition) Eureka
tent will ever get airborn. I mean, what are the odds? g

Actually, pillows will probably make the trip...at least I know I'm
bringing mine. The whole "lumpy pillow thing" goes back to me giving
Paul too much grief about something and his retort was along the lines
of "that's it, you get the lumpy pillow".

We'll run out of useful load this year before we run out of space. Good
idea about sitting on the pillows though. I recall you mentioning
that's how your kids make the trip.

Sweet!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bad words to use together. Jay is the undisputed king of having to
replace a blown away tent with a quick trip to Target. I'm not worth to
compete in that department :-)

Well... no excuse is too small. I can even make multiple trips.... in the
same day if needed!

Ah...good to know that should we exceed the useful load of the airplane
of minivans, that we have a backup. Then again, it figures, coming from
an Aztec driver. :-)

You mean, you need an excuse to run over to OSH Sat/Sun? The fact that
the Honeck, Allison, and whoever else wants to fly from IOW are showing
up isn't enough? :-)

Seriously though, will do letting you know. Thanks!
