Who Knew Denver Had One?
Hello to all.
A college friend of mine (and the Best Man at our wedding) flew out this weekend for a visit. When Googling things to do in Denver, we discovered a surprise.
Denver has an air and space museum. Not just one, but we found two.
Andy (my college friend) loves airplanes, so Xavier, Andy and I headed out to where Fitzsimons Air Force Base once was.
Developers have turned it into apartments and shops, but right in the middle remains one of the bases's hangars.
Kid friendly, Xavier played in a replica of the International Space Station, examined the cockpits of DC-10s and Boeing 707s. Xavier even designed a supersonic aircraft and was able to test pilot it in a simulator.
Xavier made friends on the ISS bridge while Andy and I enjoyed an actual Star Wars X-Wing Fighter they have on display.
