Boys' day out

Jim had the day off, so he and I drove to Pensacola to visit the Naval Air Museum.  Crossing the Escambia Bay bridge, Jim spotted a ship tied up in the distance, something of a rarity for Pensacola, so we detoured to check it out.  Up close, it turned out to be the oddest vessel I've ever seen.  Even its name, Global 1200, was odd.  A Google search after we got home revealed that it is designed to lay oil pipe.
















The Air Museum was first rate.  It should be a must-see for any aviation buff.  We stayed about 2 hours but could easily have spent much longer.
