@1Peregrine & I visited the Denver air & space museum, Wings Over The Rockies today. It is in a hanger left over from Lowry Air Base. Some nice displays, but really crowded with aircraft right now. Had a nice outing. Got back to my friend’s and watched the latest F/A-18 video.

And, they have simulators! Two of these that can be flown together. And another two-seater that my friend and I rode in. It can be inverted - and we did - pretty fun -

I wonder what simulation engine they’re using? (DISCLAIMER: <— That’s ironic)

Well, I went out to Colorado on vacation. Wings over the Rockies was my first top after the airport!

That mini-me shuttle looks cool. Had to look it up.
