2 weeks back I decided that my military aviation tour was not over. The research I conducted for the July 2nd trip cluing me in on another possible gem I could visit much closer to home. This was castle AFB museum 2 hours from my home in Atwater California (Also the fucking desert) . At the time I was just beginning my foray into the Stardew game, and really fucked up my sleep schedule over the whole month. Despite my drunken stupor of sleep deprived 4 hour nonsense, I made it there about 30 minutes after the museum opened. The morning light was was gorgeous and I was prayed upon by the docents that wanted to give me a flyer about the huge beautiful Sr-71 that was parked out front gleaming with a fresh coat of black paint. I tried to get one of them to give me permission to go beyond the chain barrier to touch the belly of the massive behemoth, but they just weren’t having it. All of this is “before” you go inside, and if you find yourself paying for admission My advice to you is to by the 1.50$ program, purchase a bottle of water, wear some sunscreen, because your going to be walking the whole 20 acres to view the other 59 planes they got stationed there in the infernal sun. This museum is comparable IMO to March field in its size and collection mainly because most of the key points in the collection are engines still in tact. For me this is a huge psychological boost knowing that soo many aircraft are still “alive” with their hearts still installed. One thing to note, visitors who may decide to come in the winter may get entreated to a new acquisition as the people were proud to advertise they were getting a B-58 hustler to add to the collection. This would make this museum the most complete collection of American bombers that I have seen yet, if I decide to come back and visit next year. The rarest exhibits beside the blackbird and presidential plane, was the Avro Vulcan and Saab Drakkan, and there are park benches strategically placed so that you can enjoy all of these guys on your ass provided the sun doesn’t cook your brain. Speaking of that, I would have gotten a hold of more movies but the Iphone literally shut itself off due to overheat . Here is what I got:
Movie 1, Movie 2, Movie 3, Movie 4, Movie 5.
Warnings: there are ant hill nests and wasps attempting to stage an overthrow of the exhibit. Expect to see a lot of this shit the closer to the more decrepit exhibits you go.
(Please let me know if any of these images don’t work there should be about 100)
Top it off with an old Disney animated cartoon I haven’t seen since I was 5:

Last but not least, This game ate my brain over the last 3 weeks. I officially logged over 110+ hours on steam and turned this casual game into something rather hardcore. If you have never played harvest moon or animal crossing I wholeheartedly recommend this title. Its a relaxing game about farm life and soon there will be a coop functionality added in with the next patch. (Rather then me give you a summery I would just click the link in this paragraph to see weather its right for you or not) A
