Hill Air Force Base Museum

Jon getting a closer look!
He really wanted to touch and those straps were so easy to go underneath but he did great and we only had to explain it once, but this missile was a little too tempting and he really leaned in on this one.
He followed along with Jonas and the two would just wander around looking at all the airplanes.
This was an airplane seat that he could sit in, we thought they should have at least one airplane cockpit open for pictures.

Jocelyn, Jon, and Jared came for a visit and one morning we headed off to the museum at the Air Force base with Jonas so Jon could see the airplanes. (Jaren was still at EFY) He loved seeing all the big planes and every time I go I learn something new. Did you know that the Japanese sent air balloons over the Pacific with incendiary devices to go off on impact. The plan was to start forest fires and such. Many reached the States and three landed here in Utah. Several landed in Oregon also and one when a family on a picnic was investigating it blew up and killed the mom and her five children. The press cooperated with the government to not release this information hoping that the Japanese would not continue if they thought it was unsuccessful. This thinking worked and they ceased sending them. I don't know about you, but several things were new to me in this story, not the least of which is the press being helpful.
