I love it when my pilot friends invite me up for a trip. Here's what we flew to the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, OH. There was an event honoring the 68th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo in 1942. Four of the surviving eight Raiders were in attendance. It was a great time, and a great museum to visit.


My friends hard at work in the "office".


Me, enjoying the heck out of the flight, and the view.


Home sweet home in the window. The Chicago skyline off the starboard wingtip.


Cheers,
Mike

P.S. Oh - and since the 14th was my 58th Birthday, please refrain from any "weathering" comments regarding the third pic. Thanks.
