Day 291- 293 Up in the Air Again

We are headed to the Philippines to meet up with our daughter Becca on her round the world odyssey and to visit old friends from when we were Peace Corps Volunteers there. Of course, since I work for an airline we are flying stand-by. There are two reasons for this: I am a low paid gate agent and it is cheap to go stand-by. So we first tried to fly from Los Angeles to Japan but that didn't work so we flew to San Francisco and ended up going to Korea on the way to the RP. We luckily were able to stay with a friend near SFO but ended up sleeping on uncomfortable airport benches in ICN. Those blips aside, we did get to Manila, just 36 hours later that we had hoped.

Day 181 - Wings Over the Rockies Museum

Lowery Air Force Base was opened in 1938 in Denver/Aurora Colorado. The runways were closed in 1966. The base was used for training bomber crews during WWII and then technical training after. The base was the home of the Air Force Academy from 1954-58 until it moved to Colorado Springs. The base was decommissioned in 1994. This B-52 is sitting in front of the "Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum" housed in two of the old hangers.
