Dover Meet Day Two

 "Vern"




 Line for the driving tour to the Dover AFB Museum

MPH waiting in line at Dover AFB museum for picture under a B17 wing




 Each vehicle drives into the hanger for the picture under a B17 wing the backs out for the next car


 MPH infront of the museum




 A lark getting the picture under the B17 wing




















 C5s land and taking off all day











 Except for the good conduct medal this is only other medal I received when I was in the Army


 After the museum we went to a business that specializes in Wild Weasels (amongst other military vehicles). We were all to get rides in this one. This one left just after I got there and never came back. Apparently, it got vapor lock. I did get a short ride in another...
