Saturday stroll....

So it isn't Old Warden, etc... but I drove down to Fantasy of Flight (just west/south of ORlando.  I hadn't been there in about a year....

Highlight was seeing their Fiesler Storch put on a "flying" display  (Flying is arbitrary, I classify it with helicopters - so ugly the Earth repulses them)  I don't think it's really landed per se ...   the pilot just approaches the ground, gets out and pulls it down.

Tidbits were that apparently they have all the bits and pieces for a real live Lancaster ....  Now the big question - when will it be flown ....  (at least 5+ years for a restoration IFF they were to start "soon")

Still a very interesting place.

I LOVE the Fantasy of Flight! Used to go there all the time when I was younger. Was probably the first museum I ever went to. You know, the Sun 'n Fun seaplane base is going to be there this year.
