WW2 Weekend Pics and Comments
« on: June 06, 2010, 04:46:00 PM »
Went to the WW2 Weekend at the Reading PA Airport / Mid Atlantic Air Museum.  We camped at the Daniel Boone Homestead Saturday, and headed to the airshow on Sunday.  Here are some pics of the weekend.  Feel free to post any pics of the weekend you have here to.

Thanks!  :salute  I wish we could have had the whole troop with us.  I had 3 away at the Air Force Academy, and a few others away on family trips.  All total we had 11 scouts with us, which is 1/2 the troop.  We all had a great time this weekend!  Everyone at the airshow was really friendly and glad to see the scouts there.

Some of my favorite memories are of camping trips with the Scout Troop
Takes a lot of sacrifice to spend all that time with other peoples kids
I still think highly of Mr. Beamish,Mr. Nelson, Mr. Lovendahl and several other fathers who spent so much time making sure a bunch of inner city kids had all those great experiences.

:salute You AKP

     Some of my favorite memories of Scouting were camping trips and canoe runs down the
Delaware river.  In fact, when they started cutting back on the trips, I decided it was time to
seek more mature hobbies, like women <and there goes all my time and money>  :D

Great show, got to go there Sat. and see most of the sights and some of the air-show. My only regret is not being able to go inside the B-17 and/or Lancaster but the lines were killer so I settled for the C-47. :D
