Sounds like we have a lot in common Christie – like NOT being aviation nutters 😀 This sounds fascinating – will be sure and look it up if I’m up that way sometime! Maybe I’ll look you up too!!

Since you are becoming an aviation nerd, if you are ever in the eastern U.S.A., the Smithsonian Museum has a huge Air & Space museum near Dulles airport (Washington, D.C.) that is spectacular–everything from a Concorde and a space shuttle to the tiniest little stunt planes. I’m no aviation buff, and I was fascinated. The Wright Brothers and Lindbergh planes are in on the Mall in D.C., but there is plenty at this exhibit in the suburbs to keep you going–and it’s free, with just a little price to pay for a shuttle from the airport, or for parking if you drive there.
