Warbirds Up Close....Really Close.


"How do you let go of attachment to things? Don't even try. It's impossible. Attachment to things drops away by itself when you no longer seek to find yourself in them."
— Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth, p. 45



Still February 26
Maryland

My dad arranged for us to go in and see some pristinely restored and flying warbirds. The guys there spent over an hour with my dad, me, and the boys, lifting my sons into every cockpit and allowing them to have the canopies closed and to play with the controls. It was like being at Owl’s Head without the ropes.

We climbed into and explored a Spitfire, P-51 Mustang, P-40 Warhawk, L-39 (Czechoslovakian military jet), T-34 WW2 trainer.

There was also a DeHavilland Tiger Moth that was taken apart. We saw the upside down engine, the wings, the fuselage, the rudder, all take apart.
