Fly Away

"I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly

I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please

Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah."
- Lenny Kravitz




Only open during the weekends, the boys were spoiled with their second airplane museum this week. The Vintage Flying Museum is located in north Fort Worth next to Meacham Airport. Probably not a popular destination for preschoolers, the museum is filled with artifacts from past wars. We did receive a personal tour from a Veteran dressed in his khakis, eager to share his experiences and knowledge from the second World War. Twenty aircraft are on exhibit including several which are extremely rare and historic. Additional displays include a dedicated reciprocal and jet engine room, an FAA Aviation Education Resource Center, WWII memorabilia and artifact exhibits, a unique aircraft model exhibit and gift shop. While touring the hanger, our guide did let the boys sit in the pit of an airplane. As you can tell Big had a grin from ear-to-ear!





Their most prized exhibit and the reason this museum was started is "Chuckie," a B-17.
