- It's been tough finding much to bitch about recently, what with the superb
- New Mexico fall weather (70+ degrees, clear, and old Sol making ozone) and
- all. Just when I was prepared to have a crappy day Saturday (the battery died
- in the Taurus), I blundered into the War Eagles air museum in Santa Theresa,
- New Mexico.
-
- Fine, fine, fine!
-
- A Warhawk. A Corsair. TWO Mustangs. A Lightning. A Texan. A Shooting Star.
- TWO Mig-21s. A B-25. A Wildcat. A C-47. A Pitts(?). And several others, as
- well as old cars - a Packard, Auburn boat tailed roadster, Chivy army car,
- old Caddie, and even a '67 T-bird. Airplane engine displays, including RR
- jets. Videos. Souvenier shop with airplane books and T-shirts.
-
- The P-38 was particularly cool, one of only eight flying examples left.
- Glossy black with polished aluminum panels on the gear doors. Gorgeous.
- May God bless Kelly Johnson.
-
- Peevers, if you ever find yourself [stuck] in El Paso, drive over to the
- Mesa exit west and check it out. $4 admission, open until 4:00 PM.
-
- Peeve: Living so near something neat and taking so long to check it out.
- Guess I'll have to break down and see Carlsbad Caverns next..
