While driving from Penham, Minnesota to Omaha, Nebraska, the outside temperature hit -14 F. Seems there was a small chip in my windshield, and it decided to expand...into a huge crack. So I'm now stuck in Omaha waiting for my windshield to be replaced.

I took the opportunity to hang out with Willygoat, and get the behind the scenes tour of the SAC museum there.

I took lots of pictures, but most were taken from a designers perspective, so I won't bore you with engine exhausts, landing gear, or the back end of planes and engine nacelles


Examples of what I took, studying the KC-97

Although I did get a good shot of me holding Willygoats build of my Ryan Firebee, in front of the real thing:

Alltogrther a fun day, and a worthwhile trip. I got lots of reference material for planes that will appear soon as OBP models.

Dear Aaron:
Do you want Names and Phone Numbers of us around the US as you go by. In May the Niagara Airospace Museum will reopen back in Niagara Falls. I don't know if you have gotten East yet on I-90 Through Buffalo.
Hope to see you,
MILES

What would be better would be to friend me on Facebook if you're on there, and let me know with a pm if I'm in your neighborhood. I haven't made it east yet. Just to Iowa and Alabama.

Inky's got that one right. Bunches of nice stuff there. Here's about 380 shots from there if you got some time to kill.

I think Corpus Christi is the only city in Texas I haven't been to yet.

And now I'm stuck in St. Louis.

Funny story. After a bad snowstorm, I had to take my truck to Omaha to get the windshield and some body panels replaced. To keep me on the road, they gave me a loaner truck. It broke down today in St. Louis.

Got it fixed, and now I'm sitting in a truckstop waiting for a load.

Oh, and my over the road adventures will hopefully end soon. I've signed up for a dedicated route hauling Harley-Davidson Motorcycles and parts between Arizona, Utah, Kansas and Texas.
