The Skypark Airport Wright Patterson Bus Trip Sunday January 27, 2013 was a success!! We had 40 Pilots, Family and Friends enjoy the trip. We started with Donuts,Cookies, Coffee, and Three types of Juice in the Skypark Community Room before the trip. The Weather down was fine and dry! All had a great time at the museum. They now have a Space Shuttle Simulator the was used for all but the last two flights, that prepared the Astonauts for their pressing mission. We had dinner in Hillard Ohio and the Bob Evans Restaurant. During dinner we all were looking at weather radar on our I-Phones for the icing conditions in Cleveland. We didn’t hit mist till Lodi. After the bus left Skypark for Cleveland, it started Freezing Rain! We lucked out again!! Hope those who didn’t make this trip will make it mext year. “Happy Flying”
