what kind of postings are these? they seem a bit gross and out of place for this air museum, the moderaters need to review them before they post theme. I would never bring my kids to see a balzac, spugonyourback!!!!!

Continuing my quest to my home state i visited this museum, The Air Zoo in Kalamazoo. I was pretty impressed, it has different buildings and a good collection of planes not to mention the worlds largest indoor mural. This is a good museum and a great place for the kids, it also has a nice exibit of WWII stuff and many simulators that are covered by the entrance fee, it is also has a lot of NASA exibits. Check it out, its worthwhile.

Dear Sir or Madam, Some years ago I wrote and sent a copy of the history of Aldermaston Airfield in Berkshire, England. This is where The Fighting falcon took of from on 6 June 1944. I have completes the book of Aldermaston airfield, which I will send you a copy if you wish to have one. However,my article on \\\\\\\"The Fighting Falcon\\\\\\\" differs from the story \\\\\\\"officialy\\\\\\\" told. I have researched all the information throughly and cross cheched with person who were there at the time. So let me know if you would still like a copy Yours faithfully Gordon

Them flyin machines have been attackin our towns for the last month. Could you please stop supplyin the germans and let up the barrage of newspapers off our town. They have been landing all over my yard, even in my tool box. I remember a time when you could get a glass of lemonade for only a nickel. Where am i? RHONDA

I rounded the corner and there was one of our B-57s. It was well presented exactly as it was when I flew it in Vietnam in 1967. Thank you.

I was surprised to see no animals in the air zoo, to be honest, I thought it was animals in a zero-gravity containment cell, assholes. You better fix it the next time I come into town. I'm bringing my friend charlie the upside down mockingbird, Flossie the tap-dancing gorilla, swallows the ten headed ostrich, Bernanrd the roller-blading alligator, and my best friend, Jaundice the Clown, and if Jaundice doesn't like the museum, then you know it's bad. I'm in it to win it. p.s. I have to go take a thundersquat.

I am afraid of planes, and your museum didn't help my fear at all. I was extremely terrified. I truly beleive that Satan has made planes so it is possible for humans to get into heaven and attack the former presidents of the United States. If God wanted us to fly, he would give us the power to levitate, and the power to control animals, so we could hop onto a giant eagles' back, and fly into the sun, and that is how you get the herpes in the mouth.
