The Cradle of Avaition

Thought that we would do something for the kids' vacation. This was our something. I made an effort to drive into Nassau County to the Cradle of Avaition Museum. It was cool! We, the kids and I went, with Daniel's friend Mikey. It was interesting to see the planes and the real beginnings of avaition, much of which can be traced back here to Long Island. Fairchild /Republic Avaition, a company that used to manufacture planes for the government, and Grumman, now, Northrup Grumman, that used to do all of the fighter jets for the navy. The Blue Angels used to if not still, fly in F-14 fighter aircraft. My brother as well as many of the men and women during WWII worked at the two plants here in Bethpage and Calverton.


A side note, I tried to upload pictures, but I couldn't so I will post the words here and then try to get the images down for the next blog. I am getting annoyed here!

Oh, And if you notice, I was able to get links attached to the side bar on my Blog. Just let me know in the comment section if you don't want to be there. If I forgot you, I am sorry, let me know that too! And I will try to get your blog or webpage up there.
