EAA Museum

 We love planes and made a visit to the local air museum operated by the  local Experimental Aircraft Association chapter.  It was full of old memorabilia and a few planes and a fire truck.  The highlight for us was a plane that is now produced in Sulphur Springs, TX.  A big part of my family's history and where David and I lived for a few years while completing college and where our first daughter was born.  We talked for a long time with the owner and took a walk down those memory paths.  

The museum is small on the inside but packed with 
all kinds of displays of items donated over the years.

This seem incongruous but was still cool to walk around
This is the airplane built in Sulphur Springs.

Being a mechanic, David checked out the engine displays.

This is an experimental aircraft.
