The kind of smile we like to see on the faces of our young visitors. Any guesses on whose knee brace that is on the right side?

A lot of visitors came out to the hangar this Saturday, including folks from Mansfield, Fort Worth, El Paso, Longview and Hawaii.  I was only in the hangar during the lunch hour and spoke with a lot of families and individuals, and handed out some HSW brochures.   The Maintenance and Operations teams have really got the hangar looking good, and visitors are impressed.  Pass the word and bring out your friends and family if they haven’t seen the “new” home of the HSW.
