I love this! Thank you OP.

Feature suggestion: Invite another parent on the Family page. It would be cool if both my wife and I were able to add approved videos.

Unfortunately we’ve got one of these people across the street. He is training to be an electrician and starts his modded Toyota apparently with an amplified kazoo welded into the muffler at 4:15am every weekday. Shakes the entire house like a B-17 bomber.

Also if you’re talking specifically about the planes in the boneyards, would not recommend doing that in the desert. You will find some other “visitors” like rattlesnakes, scorpions etc. that have made the plane their habitat.

Depends. Taking pictures in front of or around the planes is no problem, but majority are pretty much sealed off. That said, most of the bigger aerospace museums have several planes and helicopters with cockpit and cabin access.

If you’re ever in the Tucson area, highly recommend Pima Air Museum.

Would not recommend visiting between May-September as it feels as if you’re walking around in an outdoor blast furnace.

Neil Postman called this the “Peekaboo World”.

“What steps do you plan to take to reduce the conflict in the Middle East? Or the rates of inflation, crime and unemployment? What are your plans for preserving the environment or reducing the risk of nuclear war? What do you plan to do about NATO, OPEC, the CIA, affirmative action, and the monstrous treatment of the Baha’is in Iran? I shall take the liberty of answering for you: You plan to do nothing about them.”
