Our first stop was Ellsworth AFB in Rapid City to go through their Air and Space Museum. John is my airplane guy and he isn't around at the moment so I have no idea what type of planes the pictures below show.
We took the tour of the base that was offered and got to see all of their main buildings, military housing (very nice), and the Minuteman II Missile Silo. The missile silo was used for training up to 1994 and was operational although it did not have a warhead or fuel. Here is a shot looking at the nosecone.

Actually, it was a nice tour and air museum. Even us girls found things of interest to make the trip enjoyable.On our way home, we were given an extra treat with a viewing of a Big Horn Sheep Ram and his harem of five grazing along the road. I think that brought a smile to everyone's face in the car.
Another fun day that ended with cards, laughter, and good company.
