6/7/2024: Our first night was spent at Sand Pond State Forest (Florida Panhandle). The campground was nice for a state forest setting. It had concrete pads and we were on a lakeside setting.
6/8/2024: After a 2 hour drive, we arrived at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola. We were just in time for the guided tour at 1:00. Tommy, our docent, was a Viet Nam vet who served several tours of duty. He told stories about each plane, who made it, when it was flown, and the successes/failures of the type of plane. Training and tactics were instrumental in overcoming the limitations of each plane during wartime.
