February 4, 2011 Pensacola is better than Pepsi or CocaCola

Fort Pikens - built by slave labor.
Larry offers to drive today so we start with a quick look at Fort Pickens then on to the Pensacola Naval Air Museum where we join the others.

This is a very interesting museum with a collection ranging from the first plane to cross the Atlantic to space capsules returned to earth. The Blue Angeles are based at Pensacola and the main building is large enough to house four of their planes, suspended in formation from the ceiling. The floor appears chaotically crowded but people accustomed to loading carrier decks probably think it looks good.

Dinner at a place called Crabs – We Got-em, and crabs, we get. Then another round of Joker with Larry and Kathy.
