Today we made a short trip to the Pima Air and Space Museum.  The picture show here is of the Schweitzer!  We may not own the plane, but I am sure it was named after me.

The weather was hot, but not unbearable.  As long as you make short dashes between the cooled buildings it is a nice place to visit.  Oh, and get there early to cover all the planes outside.  If you go in the fall, winter, or spring it will be perfect outdoor weather. Check out the photos in the photo gallery.
