Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force
Mesa, AZ
Home of Sentimental Journey
Recently I boarded a bus with local tourism professionals and we did a whirlwind tour or Mesa. One of our stops included the C.A.F. Museum that I hadn’t been to in about 3 years. So it was great to get out and see new planes in the hangar. While the wing boasts the B-17G aircraft, Sentimental Journey at their crown jewel, there are many others to look as well as the gift shop.
Sentimental Journey
What did I learn?? I learned the secret to the picture of Betty Grabel on the side of the plane. Everyone assumes that the over the shoulder glance was just to be seductive, but our docent told us about the politics of being a superstar, she was actually pregnant when the original photo was taken.
Santa will be flying in to wish all the boys and girls a merry Christmas this year.
Save the date: March 20th, 2010 – Annual Night in the 40’s Dance
I have attended this event before and it’s a blast!! There are so many participants that dress in period costume, it is like a walk down memory lane for some.
