✈️ Today, for my birthday, my beautiful wife decided to make me play hooky from work for part of the day! And I have to say, she picked a pretty awesome way to spend it! ❤️
Last year, I got to tour the Boeing factory in Everett and see where these incredible machines are built. This year, we went to the other side of aviation history at Seattle’s Museum of Flight!
Got to see the legendary SR-71 Blackbird up close (SO COOL!), walk aboard the historic Air Force One that carried several U.S. presidents, and explored everything from the iconic Boeing 747 to the modern 787 Dreamliner. 🛩️
We even tried the flight simulator, fully convinced I had what it takes to be a pilot. Turns out... I should probably stick to my day job! 😂✈️ Let's just say the aviation industry is safer with me on the ground! At least we got 3 kills… thanks to
And for the record... I still think I could fly a plane. I just need a little more practice! 😂

📸 Sharing a captivating historical moment with you all! Check out this amazing photo of the USA: Airship 'Los Angeles' landing on the stern of USS Saratoga in 1928. 🚢🛩️
On January 27, 1928, during an experimental fleet exercise, the rigid airship Los Angeles (ZR-3) made a remarkable mooring to USS Saratoga, a significant feat of aviation and maritime collaboration. It's incredible to witness the transfer of passengers, as well as the refueling and stocking of supplies right there on the stern.
