Today we drove South to Colorado Springs. On the North side of town, we visited the US Air Force Academy. Trish stayed with the RV as she wasn’t interested, so I took the kids in using the truck. Our first stop was the visitor center:
We watched the excellent video “A year in the Blue” and viewed the exhibits. We then walked over to the chapel building:
Good to know what time kiddush is:
The synagogue is on the lower level of the building, near the back:
On the adjacent field, an F-15 waits for action:
I just love this building:
In front of the F-16, cadets were practicing with rifles:
And sabre practice was going on as well:
As we were getting ready to leave, a bugle sounded and the national anthem played. All the cadets stopped what they were doing and waited for the anthem to end:
Tonight we are overnighting at the Walmart of Colorado Springs. See the trip map for driving details.
