One of our first field trips as a family was to the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love Field almost 10 years ago. We have been to other aerospace museums including the Cavanaugh Flight Museum, and the Tulsa Air and Space Museum. But the Frontiers of Flight Museum is the best, for one simple reason, all of the docents are retired flyers! It is truly living history, the men taking you on the tour built the aircraft, flew the missions, they lived the history.
It is so humbling to know the man teaching your children
enlisted on December 7, 1941 because of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor ! Captain
Charles D. Mohrle, just one of the amazing volunteers tells the stories of
the 3 days of engagement he and the 510the squadron flew in the Normandy
The museum follows the flight plan of the earliest aviators
to modern astronauts. You can learn the
history behind balloons and Zeppelins, the Wright brothers, World War I & II,
commercial and general flight and the ongoing space program. There is a huge array
of artifacts help bring history to life; full-size aircraft including the
Apollo 7 Command Module, aircraft models, engines, missiles, space artifacts
including the only moon rock in north Texas, uniforms, trophies, posters,
helmets, art and many information kiosks.
Today our fifty PEACH
kids met true heroes! I think the web site shows it takes 30 or so minutes to
tour the facility; we spent 3+ hours there today and loved every minute of it!
Give to everyone what you owe them:
If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue;
if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Romans 13:7
