Great Moments in Aviation History


Today, The Roc and I checked out the Air and Space Gallery at the California Science Center. We sat in a police helicopter, played in a wind tunnel, and launched model gliders from a surprisingly oomphy catapult.

As we left, The Roc announced: "I like that."

"What was your favorite part?" I asked him, very proud of myself for planning such an entertaining (and educational!) outing.

"The dinosaurs."

The Air and Space Gallery has a full-sized United Airlines DC-8, the actual Gemini 11 capsule, and a rare surviving F-20 Tigershark prototype, but not one dinosaur.

"Where were the dinosaurs, Honey?"

"Hiding somewhere."
