Visited a few in north central Ohio this week.

T-33 at Wadsworth airport.

Huey and cannon, Medina, Ohio, at the VFW. In the square in downtown Medina there was a smaller cannon, probably the ubiquitous 37mm antitank gun. Didn't have a chance to photograph it.

Huey, Holmesville, Ohio VFW. Also a Stuart tank.

I like the boots.

I did something similar with a pair of old motorcycle boots.

Went to the USAF Museum, saw a lot there, of course. On the way home, found a couple of displays.

Huey at the VFW in Vandalia, Ohio. Not too far from the Dayton airport.

Also a howitzer there:

Sad Cessna 337 at New Carlisle airport.

Stunning scenery

Yeah, the views even on boring back roads out there are awesome. Hardly need to go to the parks.

Cool shots of the A-6 and F-11!

I've driven from LA to Las Vegas with friends and that journey was a little boring if I'm honest. I've done Calgary to Vancouver by train and that was stunning in parts, although you can get a bit bored when it takes you 4 hours to pass alongside one lake

Is the bar open yet ?

I'd just like to see the classic "cowboy" country that you see in so many John Ford/John Wayne cavalry films for real.

I suppose I'm used to the gentle rolling hills of the North and South Downs, which are beautiful in their own way.

After driving through about 200 miles of " Look at that ! " we laughed our butts off when we saw this sign. It was the follow on to a sign we saw at a trail head " Difficulty level : Difficult ". Interesting level ?

200 miles in the UK would get you half way from one end of England to the other
