Sunday, Jan 29 was catch-up day, laundry, some shopping, relaxing and swimming at the Base Fitness Club.
It's still hard to believe that we are sitting here within a short distance of moth balled B-52's.
Monday, Jan 30 we went to the Pima Air and Space Museum for a great day of looking at airplanes and tours of the place. I think Clara actually enjoyed it.
We only covered about half the museum today, so I think this is going to call for a return trip (at least by me).
This is the third largest air museum in the country, following the Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC and the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Oh. (both of which we have visited).

| All kinds of airplanes |

| A lot of propellers. It's actually a two engine airplane. |

| As we were taking a tour of a B-36, an elderly gentleman joined the tour and he had flown as the Navigator in this very airplane in WWII. The docent who was leading the tour pretty much turned the talking over to him for a while as he told stories of his days flying. |
