An Awesome Day!

We went to the Kankakee airport today to see the B-17, B24, and the B-25. These planes are awesome. We were able to walk through the B-17 and the B-24 and spent about an hour doing that. We missed the planes landing, so we went back later as they were talking people for a flight in the B-17 at 5:15, so we watched it taxi down the runway and take off... awesome!! We stayed for the flight to return and we saw it land too. Take off was much more exciting. The wind from the propeller was amazing! We were getting cooler just because of the air flow! After all that we went to dinner at a place called Coyote Cannon and that was good. I think I might have to get most of the pictures put on actual pictures because there are so many good pics to show. We also got a bullet fired from a B-17 or B-24... VERY exciting to Kyle and a couple of pictures of the planes in the air, and a picture of them actually building the planes. All very neat stuff, and made our unit on WW2 really come to life!!

It was an awesome day!! If anyone can get there, they will be there Tuesday 9-5 and Wednesday 9-noon.

This is one of four propellers
Hmmmm... do I need to explain this??
B-24
Oh my! After a couple times of walking across this she did very well. It was a tight squeeze for some of us...
The favorite part!
