John 3rd -> Take a Look at These! (7/17/2012 5:48:35 AM)

Had an experience last week that was WAAAAAAY cool. The Fort Collins--Loveland airport hosted a B-17, B-24, P-51, and a bunch of WW II reinactors. The Cochran Clan went and had a BLAST! You look at a B-17 or B-24 and the biggest impression left on me was just how cramped and SMALL they are. Here are smattering of the pictures my wife took:

Fantastic! Great shots. Even a P-51B.

Good to see you getting your kids interested. My dad did the same for me and my brother.

Cheers,

My boys are definitely being raised to become GEEKS. Look at the size of the tires:
