We spent the morning visiting the Lyons Air Museum which is a part of the John Wayne Airport. It is unique in that all of it’ aircraft are in working order and we sometimes see the old planes flying around San Pedro.

The museum also has a number of vintage cars and the focus of the museum is WW2 Aircraft. It is possible to go inside some of the Aircraft as well as look inside the bonb bays of a B17.

We spent about three hours exploring the museum before heading to the Marina to check on Hilbre. She had already received her second coat of paint and they were just adding the third coat on the leading edges. Hilbre looked so much nicer and I was pleased with the work the yard had done.

We were advised that she would be ready for launching about 9:00 a.m. the next day, Friday.
