Description

I'm in Northwest Arkansas.  I took this scenic drive up U.S. Highway 71 from Alma to Fayetteville.  On the way, there was an air/military museum.  I passed it.

As soon as I saw this plane, I had a feeling I'd seen it in the past,  I turned around and went to the museum.  I looked at the various displays, and took photos but this certain plane came from the ship where my dad was Aviation Storekeeper, the USS Forrestal.

I was aboard the ship right before it went to the Mediterranean Sea, as was Alan Shepherd, the astronaut.  He was obviously the important one.  I may have been more interested in ice cream than an astronaut at that time.

It kind of made me wonder how things are connected.  Years ago, I took my parents by the Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia, where they were going to de-commission the USS Forrestal.
