Air Museum in Liberal, KS

We have been on the road since May 4th.  We made it to Amarillo, well almost made it, when the truck started acting up.  We thought it was from the heat -- it was 100 degrees-- but nothing showed that it was overheating.  We limped to our campground and took the truck in to the local Ford dealer the next morning.  It needed a new fuel pump.  Thankfully this very expensive repair was also covered by our warranty.  We were feeling jinxed about trying to get out of Texas.   Our next stop was Liberal, KS.

We found this Air Museum in Liberal that was crammed full of planes.  The planes are packed in so tight its a wonder how they got them all in there.  They have military and civilian planes.  They try to do a whole history of flight.  There was even a small version of a hot air balloon.   They also have a lot of  model planes that people have donated.  Since this is Kansas and Cessna is based in Kansas there were a lot of Cessnas on display.  We were impressed with this small town air museum.   It was a great place to check out.  I think because it was in Kansas -- they also had a display of airplane quilt blocks.  I don't think you would see that kind of thing anywhere else! 

We left the 90 degree heat in southern Kansas and are now waiting out wind and rain in the tiny South Dakota town of Presho.  We should be to our job in North Dakota by Wednesday!
