A Visit to The Intrepid


Dad's present for his 85th birthday: a day at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.

Exploring the submarine Growler.

"I'm glad I was in an airborne division."




"Hey, I figured out how to turn on the engine!"


"You know, this is more comfortable than a foxhole."


"I can fit through this."


"From the outside, it looked small. How much farther do we have to go?"


"It's not as complicated as dry-cleaning equipment."




"I told you I could get through this!"


"I love sight-seeing with my in-laws."


"Our first apartment was smaller than this."

Inspecting aircraft on the flight deck.

"I jumped out of planes, but not this one."


"Just because you're enjoying this museum, don't think that war is fun."


"Why didn't they paint my picture on the fuselage?"




"It says that this was a real military aircraft."

Test-driving a chopper on the hangar deck.

"Hey, let's beat the rush-hour traffic, and take this home."


"Which one is steering?"


"She can't drive a stick-shift, but she wants to fly a helicopter!"
