November 4 – I had read a blurb in the paper that the Palm Springs Air Museum was featuring Planes of World War II for a limited period. That was our destination today.

The powerful B-24 Liberator – the plane that dropped the Atomic Bomb, essentially ending World War II.

Catherine and her Dad have also enjoyed this Air Museum.
When we are down there, Joe enjoys it so much that we buy a membership. It saves us money :)
