Yesterday we traveled an hour down the road to the Popup LinkKalamazoo Air Zoo.  We took our Granddaughters  Popup LinkLauren and Popup LinkCourtney with us on this Popup LinkMission.  Wim was a pilot in the Canadian Air Force for awhile so this was his Popup LinkIdea.  The girls really enjoyed it and we spent 5 hours  Popup Linklooking at the planes.   As you can see there were Popup Linkold planes and Popup Linkmore modern planes.  There were rides for all ages that had to do with flight and there were several simulator rides - there also was a 4-D movie that we saw the (as Lauren said) you could hear, see, smell, and feel.  In one of the simulators you were pilot and co-pilot of an aircraft on a aircraft carrior, both girls enjoyed going on this with Opa and Lauren was pilot on her run with him.  She gave him a really rugged and rough ride.  He was the pilot on the ride with Courtney and she was not happy that he would not do as many loops as Lauren did.  Thank you for Popup Linkfollowing along with us.

PS.  Mike H the thumbnail and the children in following along are part of the mural that wraps around the inside of the Air Zoo.

  • Sure like the murals..........and such color...it just amazes me to see the old planes flying and then be able to hear some of the 'stories' from the 'vets' Am sure the girls enjoyed themself.

  • Beautiful shots of a very, very nice museum Jo. If I had to pick a favorite it would be tough, although I really, really like your angle on the Tomcat. Good shootin' gal!
