"addison’s open".

;-) I Lived in Dallas / Addison for 19 years.

The Addison airport has a GREAT air museum with many vintage airworthy crafts - it's a MUST SEE: The Cavanaugh Flight Museum

Check out the F-105 Thunderchief. That's what GWB flew in the Coast Guard. It's an unstable intercept rocket with tiny wings. They also have an example of GHWB's airplane that he got shot down in during WWII. See their Fokker D.VII, Spitfire, Curtiss P-40N Warhawk, Messerschmitt Me-109, F4, and much more. MUST SEE for the family!

"Check out the F-105 Thunderchief. That's what GWB flew in the Coast Guard. It's an unstable intercept rocket with tiny wings."

Gee, only three errors there.

GWB was assigned to a squadron equipped with F-102's, not thuds.

GWB did not fly in the Coast Guard.

The F-105 was NOT an unstable rocket with tiny wings. It was designed, and flown, as a fighter-bomber, capable of carrying very heavy loads (this cannot be done with a tiny wing).
