EX-FILES – August 2006

We have just returned from visiting the Grand Canyon and had a Grand time. If you have not visited this natural wonder of the world, you are missing a truly magnificent experience.

On the way to visit Williams, just outside the Grand Canyon Park, we encountered a terrific Aviation and Car museum; The Planes Of Fame Air Museum.. Yes, this is the same organization that is in Chino. They have just built a really impressive new facility near the Grand Canyon. There was even a number of model aircraft, including a Free Flight Miss America. The entry outside the museum has a Lockheed Constellation sitting on the runway.I hope to have photos to show at the November meeting.

See you all at the next meeting.
