Where Day 1 was more intimate, and smaller numbers of people - day 2 was flooded with people!!
AND!! we were at an Airline Hanger!! Too cool - and!!! there were planes - lots of planes - and I was in awe!!
Look !! An Osprey!!
I volunteered to fly it - and no one took me up on it
so sad!!
BUT!
We travel with our own VietNam Vet
and this pilot wanted to meet him -
so after he was done with our Vet - I stole him!
He gave us a personal tour, and I almost convinced him to let me fly
Instead he volunteered to take a photo with me and R
and Look!
Another plane
and a C-130
and a plane that was a three War Veteran plane
It served in WWII, Korea and VietNam
25 Missions
It was so cool
After touring the planes we headed into the hangar and I was so in awe
I put my phone in my pocket - and that is all
Gary Sinise and the LT Dan Band played
and we were entertained by Terry Fator
we watched 3 Veterans receive lots of love and care
and we learned about the new IWheelchair and the ExoSkeleton
So much info!!!!

I can feel your excitement and awe through your words. Kudos for putting away the phone!!!
Looks like fun times. Too bad they wouldn't let you fly!!
I've flown in a C-130 on a refueling mission when I was in AFJROTC in high school. It was totally cool! You can be jealous. :P
Those planes look pretty cool. Another fun day with fun people.
WOW WHAT A COOL EXPERIENCE!
