More Navy Stuff

A drive over to Pensacola to see the National Museum of Naval Aviation was on the agenda for today.  Guess Dave didn't get his fill of Navy things yesterday.

As soon as we walked in the door Dave saw a model of the USS Essex (the ship Dave was on).  As if that wasn't enough, sections of the Essex were also on display on the second floor.  Dave had another trip back to his youth today.  

This is a gigantic museum and another complete building had recently been opened.   









 
 



Dave is coming out of the presidential helicopter.  
Look carefully and you can see President Nixon at the window.









I was ready to quit when the tour guide asked Dave if he wanted to take a trip out to the flight line to see more planes.  I wasn't thrilled when Dave said "Sure."  I was beginning to think we would be spending the night.

Even the benches outside said "Fly Navy".
