Big, Big Jets

We visited the AAR aircraft maintenance facility in town today. Mr Bauer, one of our friends invited us out with his family for a tour. They had 7 or 8 Southwest Airlines 737-300's in the facility, in various states of repair. We had a tour of the insides and out, the first time the boys have been in a plane.


In 20 days the insides are stripped and every rivet inspected. Then they are reassembled. Isaac thought it sure looks empty, doesn't it.

We thought that Great Gordon would especially appreciate the paint room (hanger), where they were preparing this jet for a new look.


Hours later, Isaac is still wearing his safety goggles.
