Re: Quad City Airshow & Golden Wings Museum Pix & Video

Montblack arranged for a private tour of
the museum -- which houses some fantastic aircraft from the "Golden
Age" of flight -- and we all had an outstanding time.

And all I get are threats of "the lumpy pillow". Hmmm, maybe I need to
start being nice(er) to Paul

Weird thing is, I *tried* to buy him a Snickers bar -- and he turned me
down, instead favoring the left-over wilted lettuce salad that he had out in
his 105-degree car!

So, see, being nice doesn't always help... ;-)

The tour was really cool. To be able to actually GET INSIDE some of these
classic aircraft was truly a unique opportunity. I mean, it's one thing to
see Molt Taylor's flying car in a museum -- it's another thing entirely to
sit inside it. To be able to put your hand on the wheel, and see how the
flight controls interlinked with the driving controls was awfully exciting.
