Historic Date Night

On Saturday night Tom and I went on a date to a WWII aviation museum at a local airport. When we got there they were setting up for a wedding reception (the museum is in a airport hanger). So we weren't sure if we would be able to go in at all, but after finding a volunteer who worked there we were able to look around. This particular volunteer showed us the planes they have and the war vehicles and mentioned to us that the B-25 bomber that they have was going to be landing before sunset. When Tom heard that he asked if there was anyway that we could watch the plane land, and the volunteer said yes and showed us where to go to watch it land. We needed to kill time before the plane landed, so we went to Applebee's and got some yummy appetizers and then headed back to the airport. While we were waiting for the bomber to land we had fun taking pictures of the vehicles and planes.

A little bit before sunset we got word that the B-25 was going to be landing soon. Since Tom and I were there so long we got to meet a lot of the volunteers and one of them took us in the Navy Jeep down to the runway to see the plane land!

This date was definitely "historic" and I will remember it for a long time!
