Welcome Back parties are always fun. Four years ago I went to a farewell party for a special couple, Sid and KT, who were moving to Hawaii. Yesterday there was an even larger party to welcome them back to Kissimmee. It was good to see them and other friends from the airport that I hadn't seen in awhile. Lots of food and drinks and good conversation. The party was held at Warbird Adventures at the Kissimmee airport. If you have ever wanted to fly a warbird and do aerobatics, this is the place to do it. Two of my sons have been up and even though I haven't done the rolls and spins, I did get to ride in one of the T'6's when we went up to scatter my late husband's ashes.
I'll write more about Sid and KT one day. They have led interesting lives and worked with Mel Fisher to find and salvage the Atocha and her sister ship the Margarita.

To make up for no photo yesterday I'm doing four.
I drove out to the west side of the Kissimmee Airport and took photos of the Warbird Flights & Museum operation. There is also Warbird Aventures, which takes you flying in the WWII T-6's. No photos of them because they were out flying. I'll have to go back another time. These shots are of the museum, which I hadn't seen before.. There had been a bigger one in another hangar for many years but the owner sold it.

This is in a new hangar and the people who own and run this are great pilots and loads of fun.. I've been to many parties here and the food and company are the best.
