We were in Florida, in January. They had some of the coldest weather on record. On one day it was warmer
in St. Louis, than in Naples! We still had a good time. most of the days it got up to around 70, cold for Floridians.

Bert's husband Mike and me next to the Billy Mitchell b25 bomber.. |
We had a great meal at the airport restaurant, and even got to talk to the head mechanic. A really nice guy, who
volunteers his time keeping the old planes flying

B25 at Smart Field St. Charles, MO |
This B25 stays at Smart Field in Mo. They flew it everyday for a week, over the Muni Opera, while the play South
Pacific was playing. Scared a lot of people at the Galleria shopping mall, before they found out why a bomber was flying
over Galleria
Below is a picture of the bomber with us next to it. They spun the props around 10 times, took 3 men to do it,
to get the oil out of the engines. A lot of oil dripped out of the right engine, I guess it might have fouled out the
engine on startup.... or at least smoked a whole lot!
