Your uncle has done a great job stargazer. I honor those who have used great amount of time and money to get the old planes fixed and flying. It's a totally different thing to see a plane flying and hear the great radial engine sound compared to the quiet planes in the museums.

Does the planes happen to be somewhere between the Cincinnati and New York?

I ask it becouse after the ISC I'll fly to Cincinnati. From there I'll go to New York by bus. Are there any places that I must visit? I know that Oskosh 2003 is held at the same time, but it's too far away.

Well i have heard the US Air Force museum in Dayton is great and the pictures i've seen seem to agree.

Dayton is on the route so I'll visit there. It seems to be open at sundays which is great, becouse I arrive Cincinnati at saturday.

Sometime i hope to go up there and visit that museum also. The pictures i've seen look great i believe they have some of the old Air Force 1 aircrfat that have flown the President of the United States on display there.

No international contacts, but I am coming this Friday! The trip takes about 20 hours without missed flights, technical problems or hijacks. The only problem is that I have to pack all the clothes and other things to a 55 litre backpack. I can't take any suitcases, becouse it would limit my mobility while travelling from Cincinnati to New York after the camp.

Wish me luck!

I just saw quite a few of the International Space Camp campers today while I was getting ready to leave camp! It was very cool to meet such a diverse crowd. I also saw SpaceNerd from the forum.

It's almost two weeks from the end of the camp and I have finally made my way back to home after over a week of travelling in the States. I already miss all the ISC participants and the great international feeling of the camp. It was once in a life time experience which I'll never forget. The counselors were great. Especially Becky, Scott and Andy.

The camp left me speechless. I had so great time there.

I wish I could get back there some day.

I'm very glad to hear you had such a good time! Space Camp rarely disappoints!

I also hope that your trek through the states was a worthwhile one!

Funny how you guys thought of "First Koala in Space!" Because only the week before you, my team and I thought of the idea to launch the first MOTH into space. So we loaded a moth into the rockets payload compartment and launched it. And it lived!

We weren't allowed to launch anything that was live.

Well, I loved our moth! Jason and the other guy were perfectly fine with it too. I thought it was going to die, but apparently this was one healthy moth. I guess the boys (and Dan) got a kick out of it. They even ran out into the field like they were paramedics or something to rescue him. Truly a funny experience.
