Today we arrived at a place called Bagdad, FL, and visited the Air Force Armament Museum at the Eglin Air Force Base. There were literally tons of airplanes, bombs and guns in the museum. The picture to the top shows Joe and I standing in front of the MOAB bomb outside. MOAB stands for "Mother Of All Bombs."
It was pouring rain, so we went inside first and looked at the planes and rifles on the first level. After studying the SFW (Self Fused Weapons) we went up to the top level, and watched a movie about air-to-ground missiles. After looking about up there, we went outside to see more planes and helicopters. One of the coolest airplanes was the Blackbird SR-71 that Pop (Mom's dad) worked on it in his engineering career. We read that it could actually go coast-to-coast in just over 68 minutes.
I asked Joe what his favorite part of the museum was, and he answered, "The MOAB was pretty cool, but I have to say the Gatling gun was my favorite. It had six barrels and shot 60 rounds per second." (Blogged by Daniel)
