The Interpreter Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 As one of my teachers once told me (this is true, kids), "You remind me of a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." She still teaches today, and I do whatever the heck it is I do....we laugh about that when we see each other, and each of us is happy. There is hope. Act V, Scene V for those playing along at home.

Purplehaze Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Tillamook, Oregon - Tillamook Air Museum & Blimp HangarJust south of Tillamook off of US 101 there is a huge old blimp hangar (in the Guiness Book of World Records as the world's largest woodframe building) with the words "Air Museum" in huge letters on the side. Inside are working historic planes, ****pit simulators and other exhibits, but it's the building itself that looks cool. [John, 07/01/2001] [RA: Considered the "World's Largest Free-Standing Wood Structure," 206 feet wide, 1,072 feet long and 192 feet high. The blimps housed here during World War II monitored enemy activity along the coast, dropped depth charges and sank a couple of submarines in 1943. Hangar A was destroyed in a fire in 1992; hangar B continues on as the Air Museum.] http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/4006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
