My uncle, lieutenant Wallace W Furman, was a fighter/bomber pilot in WW11. He island hopped in the Pacific theater until finally in position to fly daily strafing/bombing runs on mainland Japan. One morning briefing, before their daily mission, he and the other pilots that day were ordered to be off the mainland and returning to base at a certain time... No excuses. As he left the mainland to return he felt this enormous shock wave, he turned in his seat and saw the mushroom cloud rising above Hiroshima. Of course he had no idea what it was. Upon his return to base he was told he witnessed history and hopefully an end to the war.

Been to the real grand canyon a bunch. First time to the PA version and it's awesome. Not sure why it took me so long to get here.

I went to the Reading WWII air show for many years with my grandfather where he spoke on his role on the flight crew for both atomic missions.

I was sitting in my office and noticed an oversize load drive by carrying train cars. I missed the first one but managed to snap a pic of the second one going by. They say Metropolitan Atlanta Transit Authority on them.

Yes, I’ve heard Colton Point has better views. We are going to Cherry Springs and Ole Bull State Park when we’re there in September. Hope you get some good night sky viewing 👍👍

Grand Canyon Pa is beautiful! We are headed out that way in September. Very excited.

That’s nice Doug.

Wow. Thanks dude. Lol

Thanks, It was pretty loud... hard to hear what other people were saying. The coolest part was sticking my head out the roof at 135 mph and 2,500 feet altitude. I've never done that before on a plane and don't think I'll ever get the opportunity again. Very sick.

Train derailment in the Norfolk Southern Allentown yard. Apparently some cars broke free and collided with stationary cars. No injuries, but a lot of plastic pellets around.

Some really great selfies in here.
