Nanton Air Museum

Nick took a couple of days off so we are having a longish weekend.  Mind you, Colleen and Jacob still have to go to work...  Sad...

Nick, Eric and I drove down to Nanton Alberta and stopped in at their Air Museum. Here's Eric in the mockup cockpit of an old second world war Lancaster KB-864 of No. 428 Squadron RCAF.


Next are father and son in the same plane. Each 'diver' signifies a successful mission; quite telling.



Here are Father and son again in a training module of the huge Lancaster bomber.


Ever the game-player, Eric is attempting a loop-the-loop in the Lancaster, without success or damage...


Eric does look good in a Snow Bird doesn't he?



Just caught my eye...



Nanton also has a famous candy store: here's just one of the many spaces crammed with candy.



Nanton also has a few Grain Elevators; could not resist these two.



We had lunch at Ken's restaurant where Nick discovered a 'much better than average' hamburger and fries.  My hamburger steak was great also.  Could be a recommended destination when you are nearby...
