Just Plane Fun!!
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.

The Fair has arrived!!
GoGo Ginger here again….
Ok, so I know that we focus on Mesa and the East Valley, but one of my favorite times of years just started last weekend…. The Arizona State Fair!!
Why?? You name it, but my faves include indian tacos, fresh corn dogs, cotton candy and FREE CONCERTS!!!
The highlight for me at the fair this year is that they are helping me save money. You can purchase a season pass for $21, which if you got at least 2 times it’s paid for itself. Just pay for your regular admission to the fair and then go to customer service to have it applied to the season pass price, they also give you a coupon book that includes a play one-get one free on the midway as well as food and drink discounts. Don’t forget about unlimited ride wristband days, a new “happy hour” discount of $1 on Fridays from Noon-6pm.

Therizinosaur – Who’s that???
“Therizinosaur-Mystery of the Sickle-Claw Dinosaur”
- Therizinosaur – Skeleton
One of the newest and strangest dinosaur fossils from North America is the subject of a stunning new major exhibit that opened last Friday at the Arizona Museum of Natural History.
Paleontologists from the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff made this an once-in-a-lifetime find in 2000 in southern Utah. The discovery led to the recovery of the most complete Therizinosaur skeleton ever found.
The exhibit includes fossil beds and a life-size Therizinosaur that is a free-standing skeleton, cast from the original bones of the 13-foot tall, one-ton sickle-clawed and feathered dinosaur. It is the first mounted interpretation of the animal’s stance and posture.
While all dinosaurs lived on land, the Therizinosaur was found in a location that was the bottom of the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway, an ancient sea that covered the middle of North America. But how did the whole animal, 93 million years ago, get buried in a seafloor, 60 miles from shore? Come find the answer.
