      Yes! Here in Oshawa, we have a Regimental Museum which operates every day of the week except Sunday. My family did not know that and years ago we came by to tour the museum. Despite being closed, the volunteers there were gracious enough to show us around! Volunteers are the best and their passion for their museums is beautiful.

    The noise you heard in Val-P was the sound of freedom. It was fighter aircraft taking off at EG-LYN is how you pronounce it by the way. Air Force personel are considered Airman, not soldiers FYI...the fire fighter suits are for fighting fires on aircraft-its a special suit for the temps that the plane can have.
    I lived on Eglin back in the 90's stationed at Hurlburt Field.
    The armament museum has definitely improved since I've been there many years ago.
    My best friend worked on the MOAB program back when it was being developed.
    You would be surprised how many times maintenance crews/pilots would forget to remove plugs before flight. The red covers and streamers obviously makes it easier to see and be reminded of their removal.
    I love goofy golf, played there many times over the years.
    Awesome vlog!

    16:27 Swastika is an ancient symbol that was common around the world long before the World War II-era Nazis adopted it. I’ve seen this symbol in vintage images of Native American wigwam structures as well as woven basketry and rug designs. At one time, it was good luck, well-being. In many cultures, it still is.

    I am excited to say that my area in Kansas has finally broke out of temps below freezing. We are still gray and overcast but I believe this weekend the sun will be making an appearance whoot whoot! Enjoyed this video, I was the Hospice nurse of a very special veteran lieutenant Brimer pilot of p51 mustang in the European theater. He developed alz/dementia his wife took immaculate care of him. He was bed bound but developed 0 none zip pressure wounds or bed sores. Most beautiful thing I witnessed is their love they had , he never forgot her name "my Mary". His taught him to respond to the question...whose your favorite nure? He responded "my nurse Debbie" made my heart melt and he would give me a salute. He loved his mustang he did get get shot a couple different and that plane got him back safely. The day he died he still had shrapnel from his plane in him. So when you showed that mustang I shred a couple of tears and thanked lieutenant Brimer. Sorry I rambled on there. Destin Beach did look beautiful. Are you going to the festival of the arts at epcot. Tell Goofy hi for me.. Keep up the great worķ

    I spent so much of my childhood traveling to Pensacola. I was always so fascinated by that bus full of mannequins! I was dying to walk up to it and look inside. I can confirm that at least the driver was once a functioning animatronic (not quite sure I remember the others moving). I believe he either waved or at least moved his torso back and forth. I can’t quite remember the movement but I know for a fact he at least moved. As someone who has always been very fascinated with animatronics, he definitely caught my attention! 😁

    The skeleton in the top hat patch that you pointed out belongs to the 95th Fighter Squadron, known as "The Boneheads". It is still an active fighter squadron at Tyndall AFB just twenty miles east of Panama City Beach. The aircraft was an F-80 that the 95th use to fly years ago. The 95th has since flown the F-15 Eagle, F-22 Raptor and are currently flying the F-35. I was an Aircraft Armament Systems Specialist (Weapons Loader) in the 95th from 1993 to 96 and 1997 to 2007 when they were flying the F-15. One of my jobs was to load the things that go boom on the aircraft.

I miss it, I'm up here in Michigan where it's been very cold lately. I lived down near Ft. Lauderdale cool things to do down there like taking The Jungle Queen boat tour ride I used to love going on that and taking an airboat ride at some of the airboat ride attractions one called Holiday Park west of Ft. Laud. In the Everglades plus deep sea fishing and trips to Miami and Key west. Plenty to check out attractions. I enjoy your visit to some of the cool restaraunts you stop at. Along all your journeys. Enjoy your travels, stay safe. Later gator.😁👀

But you wouldn't want to go to the one in new York there is nothing to do. its so cool Jenn is from Rochester and buffalo area i and my mom diffidently my mom knows that area well she grew up in Gasport new York but was in buffalo and Rochester a lot cause her friend Kim had non smokers lung cancer and went to Roswell hospital for treatment all the time in Rochester. sadly she passed away. so did her brother from the same thing it ran in the family.

    Hi Jacob, very nice episode again, and showing much new stuff for me.
    Florida is probably the best location to be in this time of year.
    About the Air Force Armament Museum. Very nice, really liked that! The yellow-colored contraption you saw hanging there is actually one of the world's first drones. It is a V1, an autonomous flying bomb like the ones launched by the Nazis to destroy London in WW2.
    Very close to where i live, near Hells Highway as known from Operation Market Garden is a local historic aircraft museum, named "Liberating Wings", to commemorate and honor all our allies from the USA, Canada, Poland, and France who freed Belgium and the Southern part of the Netherlands. Their effort and losses are still remembered and celebrations are held once a year, all along Hells Highway.
