I'm sure this seems silly to a lot of people, but yeah, I'm really really disappointed.

Google Earth is an easy distraction for me. There is so much to see there.

After looking up the museum in NYC, I started poking around the city. Now, I've been on 95 through NYC several times, and I've seen these buildings, but they always go by in a blur. Just look at these things. How can those few skinny posts under the bridge hold up that huge building? Just look at it.

When I attended high altitude physiology and wind tunnel training at Wright-Pat, I had time to tour the AF museum. I still have a silver dollar sized bronze medallion I bought at the souvenir shop the sales from which help support the museum. I wish the same could be done for the shuttles in lieu of an admission charge (rather than as a likely addition to it). Unfortunately, this seems to be being done on the cheap for the government; so, they'll probably even do the same thing the Smithsonian was chastised for by Congress by selling mostly foreign made souvenirs. At least my souvenir was made in the USA.
