I LIKE TO VISIT AIR MUSEUMS.  CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BEST IS THE AIR FORCE MUSEUM IN COLUMBUS OHIO, WHERE PLANES ARE DISPLAYED OUTSIDE AS WELL AS INSIDE.  THOSE OUTSIDE ARE ONE OR TWO OF A KIND THAT FAILED TO PERFORM AS EXPECTED.  INSIDE ARE MOST OF THE MILITARY PLANES USED IN VARIOUS WARS AND A SPACE CAPSULE AS WELL.  

A FEW YEARS AGO I VISITED MY FRIEND LARRY COLLINS (FORMER WHTC ANNOUNCER) IN PALM SPRINGS CALIFORNIA WHERE HE WORKED AS PROGRAM DIRECTOR AT KWXY.  LARRY AND I VISITED THE PALM SPRINGS AIR MUSEUM ONE DAY AND OUR TOUR GUIDE WAS A FORMER GERMAN SOLDIER WHO SERVED IN THE ANTI-AIRCRAFT IN BERLIN.  HE EXPLAINED HOW HE ONCE TRIED TO SHOOT DOWN AMERICAN PLANES.  ALL THE PLANES AT THE PALM SPRINGS MUSEUM ARE FLYABLE.  OF PARTICULAR INTEREST WAS A SIGN WHICH READ, "CHILDREN, PLEASE WATCH YOUR GRANDFATHER," INDICATING THAT US OLD VETS GET LOST IN MEMORIES IN A PLACE LIKE THAT.  THE MUSEUM IS SMALL, BUT VERY WELL MAINTAINED. CHECK IT OUT IF YOU ARE IN THE PALM SPRINGS AREA.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE AIR MUSEUM.
