All-
I just returned from a private tour of the Spirit of Flight Center in Lafayette, CO that is run by our WIX friend Gordon Page, and I have to say, that man sure is taking the bull by the horns when it comes to educating the public about warbirds! His focus is on educating the younger crowd, thus continuing the legacy. He's got many fun and interesting ways to get the kids hooked, it was very impressive! The artifacts alone are amazing (including over 500 vintage artifacts, such as a great Stuka spinner and a prop off of a 109F) and all have a great story behind them that Gordon was more than happy to share with me. They have some exciting stuff planned for the future, but I will allow Gordon to reveal that when the time is right
If you haven't been out to Lafayette to see this little piece of heaven, give it a shot, it's definitely worth the trip! Hats off to Gordon Page, a true lover of old flying machines, and the wonderful work he and his crew are doing to make sure our future knows about our amazing aviation past.

Thanks again for a memorable morning Gordon! Definitely won't be the last you see of me!
