    Chino is the coolest place to go for inspiration. I worked there for about 5 years painting planes. I still go there and hang around with my friend that has a shop there building P-51's. I highly recommend it. If you cruise around the field you will see LOTS of stuff that you just can't see anywhere else.

    The Cavanaugh Museum at Addison Airport is worth a look for you Tejas guys.

    They also have, or useta, rides in a Stearman . It aint no fork tailed devil, but it suits my pocket better. Being out in the breeze is neat.
