The plane museum at Hill AFB in Ogden, Utah is wonderful. I live near the new Smithsonian air museum and the one in Utah was as interesting to me though it clearly doesn't have the money the one here does. Both have this plane.

This is a "great" story (maybe). In the fifth year of my marriage I finally met one of my wife's cousins; I didn't even know that he existed until she told me he was coming. I asked her what he did. "I don't know, something about airplanes."

I was born and raised, and served, in the Air Force. I love aircraft, now hear that I have a hidden relative, who, as it turns out, was the director of public relations for Lockheed!

When he told me what he did, then asked my wife why she hadn't told him that I was such an aircraft buff, she just said that she'd never thought of it. The laser beams from my eyes should have melted her.

At that time Lockheed was being sold, so he couldn't give me the tour that he wanted to give me, or the flight in a jet that he could have arranged. He did send me a load of books and tapes on Lockheed products, which are still treasured.

Yep, I divorced her.
