davjohns 1 #15 February 5, 2010 I live in Huntsville, but only recently moved here. Can't help much. Skydive Alabama is about 45 minutes south on I-65.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have the SR-71 blackbird parked out front (or the other model similar to it), a full-size shuttle mockup "Pathfinder" with rocket boosters and fuel tank, and one of the original Saturn 5 rockets housed in its own display building, as well as a Saturn 5 mock-up standing upright outside. You can see it for miles. They also have an IMAX theater in the museum with shows every few hours, depending on the schedule."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh i have, in Huntsville in fact. Back when I was a kid I went on a school trip down there for a few days. We hit a lot of the simulators and activities for both Space Camp and Aviation Challenge camp. The Gimbal rig (didnt know thats what it was called) was alright but my fav was the two person centrifuge at Aviation Challenge. They cranked it up to 3.5 G's and i was loving every minute of it. It was a blast...too bad they dont have a program like that for 25 year olds "If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
