What a day we had the first day out. We started at the museum at 7am. Heading for the airport and checking in for our Airtran flight to LAX. Had the truck rented and on the road before 1pm pst. First stop was Chino Airport and two museums. First was Yanks Museum, which was a surprise to us that it was there. Very nice collection of warbirds and civilian airplanes. Then onto the Planes of Fame Museum. What a great collection of military aircraft and other equipment. We met with the Founder and Director Ed Maloney. What a great meeting it was, and we look forward to a great relationship with their museum. We left Chino for a three hour ride through LA traffic, (I will not complain about the Atlanta driving anymore), over to Camarillo Airport to meet Jeff Whitesell and to load up the Martin Procedure Trainer. Jeff was waiting for us at the gate and in 15 minutes we were loaded up and on the way to dinner with Jeff. We hit the hotel before 11pm and are now preparing for our trip to Mojave and meeting Doug Scroggins for more donations. All in all it has been a very productive first day out. More on our trip after today.
Our ride for the next week on on way back to Atlanta..
