National World War II Museum
We visited the museum on the 70th anniversary of V-E (Victory in Europe) Day. At the museum, it was the last day of a three-day commemoration of that event.
The two presidents who made this reunion happen; Lou Furlong and FTLPA president John Dickson
John was one of many Tigers at the reunion with whom I had the pleasure of flying.

For guys who like airplanes, this was a fun place. (TL)

A Parrothead is a fan of Jimmy Buffet. After the party, many reunion attendees had dinner at Buffet's restaurant, Margaritaville.
The place was loaded with pretty women
