Oregon Coast 2010, Day 3

Tillamook factory for cheese samples and ice cream.
Tillamook Air Museum.
This was a very cool museum. It is mostly WWII planes and memories. (Thought a lot of Papa.) I have very little interest in looking at planes but was planning to be a good sport for the boys. It was great. Lots of old newspapers, magazines, and other stuff to read and a great atmosphere with the uniformed mannequins and 40s music playing.
This is one of the pages - I think it was Life Magazine - that struck me. The small print reads, "To help you do your share, the government has organized the Citizen Service Corps as a part of local Defense Counsils [sic] with some war task or responsibility for every man, woman, and child. Probably such a Corps is already at work in your community. If not, help to start one. A free booklet available through this magazine will tell you what to do and how to do it. Go into action today and get the satisfaction of doing a needed war job well. EVERY CIVILIAN A FIGHTER."

How times have changed!


If you look in the cockpit and see this pilot/co-pilot pair, it is time to bail!
Enough time after the air museum to catch a little sun, a little damp, and a whole lotta sand to bring back to camp.
Also to attempt some kite flying.
