My husband had the honor of graduating from the AF Academy. He went on to fly F-15’s. He retired after twenty years with the AF as a Lt. Colonel. One of his assignments was in Iceland. His squadron would “accompany” Soviet fighter jets as they toyed with our air space. It was during the the Cold War and the Soviet Union thought their old rickety jets were a match for our very superior fighter jets. His last mission was into the Mideast. Things were heating up there but America just wanted them to know we were keeping an eye on them. This was during end of 70’s into the mid 90’s. Went on to become a Captain with a Commercial Airline. And now we are both retired. He loved his aviation career.
What a great career he had! Glad you both stuck it out! My Dad was a railroad man. Gone a lot. He and Mother stayed married till the passed. 🥰 54 years
The F-4 you sat in was Col. Olds’ airplane in Vietnam. He was was an American fighter pilot and promoted to general officer in the United States Air Force (USAF). He was a "triple ace", with a combined total of 17 victories in World War II and the Vietnam War.[2] He retired in 1973 as a brigadier general, after 30 years of service. Olds had a highly publicized career and life, including marriage to Hollywood actress Ella Raines. This week at Langley Air Force Base we dedicate a building in his honor with his daughter in attendance.
My grandma was Sandy McDonald's right arm and worked at McDonald' Air craft she designed the wire crib for t 43:29 he f fours and my dad as well as all of my neighbors all worked for McDonald' Douglas aircraft back in the day when they were building the f fours or they called them the banishie they had to work 24 hours a day and 7 days a week for a while to meet the Air force and Navy and Marines and army contractes for delivery
I've been in Texas for 7 years now, but grew up about 45 minutes away from the Air Force Museum. I really enjoyed seeing how much fun you guys had at Cedar Point and the museum. Though I'm a Texan now, I'll always be a Buckeye! Thank you for showing your adventures, what a breath of fresh air of no politics, no drama (for us, even though we live through your problems with you), just good clean fun!
Thanks, Todd. Love Texas but Hawaii is home so I know what you're talking about with Ohio. It's just our life on the road. We like not trying to sell you anything! 😆 😆 Appreciate your time watching the channel.
My heart swells with pride and reverence in these national spaces that commemorate the selfless sacrifices and extraordinary achievements of those who came before. How thrilling it must be being there. God's willing, I hope to visit soon.
I will just share this. I have a little background in aviation. David you were exactly right with your comment about the Black Widow!. Please people don't wet your pants from what I'm about to say😂. The YF-23 is still to this date the greatest fighter jet ever built!!!!!. The Raptor is the most dominant fighter in the SKY hands down but it is our current Air Superiority fighter because people in congress got some weight dropped in their pockets. Head to head in every category the 23 outperformed the 22..😮
Agreed. Heard that the USAF required thrust vectoring and the 23 didn't want to sacrifice stealth or speed or efficiency. Too bad... the Raptor is still the best out there but we could be better! Thank you
My Great-Uncle Willis, a farmer at Iron Mountain, Michigan, used to shut the engine off on his 1959 Ford pickup truck whenever going down a hill to save gasoline! With the standard transmission, it was simple to restart the engine while rolling along! He did this constantly while driving! I don't think folks today know about this gasoline saving "secret" LOL!!
@@bigtruckbigtravels Yes! Sadly these very expensive and complicated "anti-theft" devices don't seem to stop car thieves! The real thieves are the car companies installing and charging $$$$$ for these worthless and complicated devices!!!
I grew up just an hour from Cedar Point , BEST costers in the US . We were there several times a year ! My Mom was in her late 60es the last time she rode , because she made sure she rode EVERYone that they built . There have been several new ones in the last 20 years since she is gone. Lots of great memories !
Loved seeing your tour of the Air Force museum. As a fellow EE, I envy Somdra’s experiences supporting the development of this amazing technology. In her own way, she has served our country honorably in its mission to bolster freedom. Well done 👏
I have had Banana Creme Pie at that restaurant and then purchased a chocolate creme pie to go! I was bad... really bad! Another awesome video. Really enjoy watching your escapades!!
I have been watching you for the past week or so and am enjoying the two of you immensely. You are doing what I have wanted to do but very sadly my husband my love went to Heaven too early. I saw your rig and thought it was BEAUTIFUL. That is when I tuned in. I am so glad I did. Sondra you are great and so talented. David you are a marvel. I think, no I know you could fix anything. Love you guys. Be Blessed and be safe. I can’t wait to watch more❤ from Myrtle Beach S C
Thank you, Susan. We used to live in Myrtle Beach for 10 years... you're in the busy, busy season! Sorry about your husband but we are so excited to have you along on the journey and glad you found us. 😊
So fun! We took our 14 year old roller coaster-loving grandson to Cedar Point last Summer and stayed a week during July 4th. We went into the park 3 days and enjoyed amenities the other days, including fireworks on the beach on the 4th. It was hot and crowded, but wonderful!!! You are correct about the Cedar Point Ap: it's a great tool for managing your time. It also helps to have a grandson obsessed with roller coasters, who researched everything ahead of the trip. I so envy your time there with that lovely, cool weather....but I don't envy the mayflies!
Thank you so much for sharing the Air Force Museum. It was so interesting to see plane for President Roosevelt so that he could be able to travel. The fighter jets, the sound of freedom. I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for sharing your videos.
My favorite plane is the F-15. I used to watch them take off and land while studying in high school. That was truly my happy place. And Cedar Point is where I fell in love with roller coasters that flip you upside down!
Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone. Each week is a new adventure, glad you're along on the journey.
Wow!!! The Air Force Museum is a new bucket list item. I think if we did Cedar Point both of us would end up in traction and not walking for a week. Last time we went to Magic Mountain ( I was much younger) we had sore backs for over a week. I hate to say it but I think we have aged out of roller coasters.🤣😆
When I worked as a County Clerk Archivist, we had what are recorded as Cemetery Deeds. Property owners would petition and deed specific portion for cemetery use. Most of the appropriated property was an acre or more located near a dedicated road way. In Oregon all cemeteries are inventoried every 10 years, including Indigenous People who occupy them.
Oh, If I remember correctly, not far away, I think you can visit the Wright Brothers practice field, their grave sites, site where they grew up, the home they built, and more… a quiet gem site in the country. You did a great job stimulating my memory :)
A big thank you for sharing your experiences and all the time it takes to prepare the video for us. We love visiting museums of all kinds as we R.V. across the states and Canada. Sondra, we know you are a very smart cookie, but holy whaa, you being on the teams who created the aviation electronics for many of the planes we use today. Truly awesome! 🤓😉💜
Thanks for watching, Yvette! Yep, Sondra is one smart cookie...especially since she married me!😁😂🤣😎 We really enjoy the varied experiences we have and love sharing them. Be safe as you travel this summer.
In the beginning of the video; when you mentioned going to the USAF museum in ohio. I thought "cool.. dad was in the airforce.. ill watch then share your vid with him". 🇺🇸 im now at 33:37 where you mention we are in riverside OH, right outside dayton. I see the hangers... i paused your video... made a Google search. ... This Wright Patterson .. my father was stationed there at Wright Patterson Airforce Base in 70s. We went to St. Peters grade school... and often especially when family came to visit, went to.see the airplanes ✈ in those hangers... my favorite were the flying tigers. Thank you so much for sharing. P.S. my father was appointed to organise all transportation for Mrs.Kennedy & lil Patrick... Im so proud of my father & our country. No one is perfect... God bless 🇺🇸
Wow. You two are a couple of kids. I could never get my husband to go on amusement rides. Looks fun. We visited the AF Museum also and we only got partway through the first building. We intend to go back someday to see the rest. But just a warning: Don't buy their food from the cafeteria. It was microwaved and awful and very expensive.
When you showed the tires had sunk it also looked like the bottom of your tires were flatter. lol. Your back tires were rolling forward also. The scattered cemetery is from closed churches often. They get moved or torn down. There use to be churches much more often on the road. The SR-71 is an awesome plane, still the fastest plane to fly. That one looked to be an Aardvark bomber. . Stay safe and healthy.
As a past owner of a 41’ diesel pusher, this is THE most interesting RV video on RUclips. Most other videos range from totally boring to mildly interesting. The problem is they are almost all the same - they don’t the problem with my RV trips. Enough room in stretch out, but not too big. AND HAVE flexible, easy access dingy vehicle. Advanced-level, flexible, critical thinking. NICE!
You guys are just infectious, David and Sondra you are two inspirational people! I have only just come across your site and working through your journeys. It was always a dream of mine to retire from the UK and RV the US for 6 months at a time. I have been lucky to visit your amazing country 9 times and love it. If you ever get a chance to do a short video on your backstory and how you managed to do what you we doing; that would inspire others to understand if we can do it. Something to aspire too! Thank you for your videos 😊
Thank you so much... we are flattered by your comments. We're thinking of doing that story when/if we hit 50K subscribers. We weren't sure anyone would be interested.
I always recommend to visitors to start touring our Air Force Museum from the last hanger, where the modern aircraft and areospace equipment reside, and work yourself back to the front. The best thing about the museum is it is free. Plan to spend plenty of time when visiting. Thanks for profiling our national pride.
We appreciate that, Tom! We're just living our RV Life with no agenda to sell you anything or scare you either! Lol 😆 😆 It's just our life on the road. Glad you enjoyed it and excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
Appreciate the comment, Ruth. Neat museum to visit. Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone.
I'm glad to see that you didn't let the may fly infestation "bug" you. As I watched you try to get them off the side of the camper with your hand, it dawned on me how they got their name. When you try to swat them, they "may" fly away... 🤷 I'm glad you showed the Air Force Museum because I wondered if it was exciting or just kinda "plain." 😂 I'm sorry, I'll see myself out now. God bless and safe travels
Another Great Episode!! You went to my favorite Air Museum. My daughter used to live in Dayton. I was able to go to the museum several times and loved each time. The P-51 is my favorite fighter. Beautiful, fast, and that engine makes the sweetest sounds. Seeing it in the video makes me want to go back!!! You had some amazing weather during this trip. Safe Travels!! See you next week.
I so love the fact that you all are able to take the whole world with you. I love you 2 and I really love traveling with you all to all the different locations.Happy and blessed traveling to u both.😇😇😇👍🏾💯
Thanks, Clarence. We love the ability to change our backyard with the seasons. Super excited to have you along on the journey with us. Stay cool this summer!
I loved this video. We use to live in Ohio (both girls are Buckeyes) and we have been to Cedar Point many times. In fact, Roger's family has been going there since he was a little boy. We've also eaten at Der Dutchman many times. We loved going to Wright Patterson AF museum. This video was a real trip down memory lane.
The train ride around the park was delightful. The little Western looking little section looked a lot like the front of the buildings in the movie "Green Fried Tomatos". As far as the head stones, families buried their family members close to their house. To keep them close and safe.
Wow haven't been to Cedar Point since I was a kid, maybe 1971. Our next door neighbor was an Episcopal Minister and one of his parishioners owned Zantop Airlines and we took his Yacht there. Calm going, not so much coming home. Definitely hanging off the back of the boat.
Hi guys...good video...we are on our west trip now ourselves...sitting in roswell nm...making our way up to deer lodge Mt. to see some friends..then over to Custer Sd..we are going to dayton Oh Air force museum at the end of our trip...I want to see the B36 peace maker...😊..thanks for the video...guys stay safe...J&A2ofus
Hi J&A, thank you. Sounds like you have put some miles under you this spring/early summer. That's a nice plan. The Red Lodge area is really nice. Stay safe out there.
Hello! Little insight into the small cemeteries you saw in Ohio, many that are very old and seem to be in the middle of nowhere are people that had passed from scarlet fever or small pox. Others a church at one point had probably been close at one time, many little towns over time closed old churches and congregations consolidated leaving behind only their cemeteries. Not sure your big rig would fit in some of the camp grounds near Hocking Hills or not but it’s a beautiful area with some very nice hiking and beautiful views would suggest going though the week weekends get a little crazy. Love your videos!
So the May flies, aka Shad flies, have no mouth parts to bite. They live 24 hours to mate and do the egg thing, then larve, then fly. In northern Ontario there can be clouds of them that look like a cross between a murmuration and an isolated downpour.
Cedar point, we go every year and I’ve been going since 1963. Mayflies along the Great Lakes especially along Lake Erie are prevalent through the months of May, June and the beginning of July. They do not bother you but when you drive on them they click from dieing!
You would be surprised how many burial sights are under our own home country. Look it up. I enjoyed watching you both glad your hot on the cell lol. I enjoy traveling camping. Me father in-law loved RV traveling to camp SIGHTS with the church, but this traveling I have watched is awesome your the best . Lord Bless You Both,🙏🙏
Museum story time! I am a vet. 6 years active USAF and 6 years Air Guard. Entered the AF in 1979 at age 17 and became an avionics mechanic maintaining the radar directed tail gun on the B-52H. It is known as Defensive Fire Control. The B-52 is the largest aircraft to record an air to air victory. Two Migs were shot down by B-52D gunners during the Vietnam war. One by A1C Albert Moore and the first by Ssgt Samuel Turmer. You should had seen the artifact display at the museum to the Turner shoot down. In that display case is one barrel from his aircraft when he shot that Mig. Why only one barrel being when there were 4 guns in that turret? Not many know the whole story as it was told to me when I was at fire control school by an instructor who was there recovering that aircraft after that mission. When there was a fireout on a system, all the barrels get pulled and changed out. On Turners aircraft, they only pulled one barrel because the other 3 .50 caliber machine guns had jammed leaving almost all of the ammo on board. No need to pull them. So, that Mig was brought down by a signal .50 cal. Now you know the rest of the story! Great video!!! I consider a visit to the Museum of the United Sates Airforce a 4 day event to really take it all in. Way to much to see in a day or two. Thank you folks!
Thank you for sharing. Great story and love the background to it. That is too cool... don't want to mess with a .50 cal in the air. Definitely more than a day to take it all in. Appreciate your service to our country which allows us to be able to live this life.
Welcome to our part of the woods. We're in Toledo. All those bugs are May Flies. I live in an area called Point Place. Scoop shovels are needed to throw them away when they die. Btw Point Place Toledo is the part of town that The 70's Show was based on. If visiting, do not bring your rig. Your little car would work best.
Interesting I've never watched the 70s show. I think we passed through Point Place and went east along Lake Erie the other year. Family is from Bedford Twp, Monroe Co, MI.
Awesome trip you have taken us on! Beautiful country, Cedar Point, Midges, The National Air Force Museum (I like is free entry?) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base… WOW, GREAT vid. Thanks. 🙂
The cemeteries are probably a township cemetery or possibly a local church. Nice to see you two having fun at Cedar Point, that place gets very busy and so popular. 😮 looks like you’ll get your steps in . Interesting, thanks for the fun.
Thank you for taking me back to my childhood. Car trip from SLC, UT. to Dayton, OH. Uncle was in the Air Force, so off to the museum we went. Again, thank you.
You're very welcome. We're excited to have you along on the journey and that you enjoyed the video. It's cool that it brought back personal memories. 😎
Loved this episode on the Air Museum! Both hubby and I love both vintage and modern planes too. Thanks for putting this on our radar for when we hit the road full time! And, I’m with you Sondra, quash those pesky lil boogers!😉👍🏼Be safe out there guys!❤~Wendy
Hubby worked for Boeing commercial for 34 years in Seattle Metro area -We love visiting the airplane museums-We haven’t been to this one but I hope we can visit it -It looks like they have just about everything-We have the Museum of Flight at Seattle Boeing and a smaller museum in Everett-You can also take a tour of the Boeing Everett Plant and it is really neat -If you get up this way again 🛩️✈️🚀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What a great video I grew up in Ohio visiting Cedar point every summer. I also spent 8 years in the AirForce flying B- 52’s so have always loved the Dayton Museum. Keep on living the traveling life.
I had to chuckle when you were driving past those cemeteries, we were boondocking near Yuma, Az but on the california side right by a really really old graveyard. And i was sure i heard rocks rolling around during the night. There was a really, really old mine there too.
We were invaded once with the ladybug look-a-likes! Thousands of them. I also got the vacum out, but I was finding them for a year so. They liked to hide in the curtains & any crevice. 😮
Thank you for spending the time to watch the channel, Pam. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone and to give back to the RV community.
Ha Ha, 'You don't want to get in a fight with me'. Sondra, those are fighting words. I wonder if the room dividers on the presidential plane were bullet proof? Were they glass/plexiglass? They were probably installed for privacy; but, maybe for security too.
Haven’t been to the Air Force Museum for quite a while since the hubs and I moved from Indiana but it was a really neat thing to see😊 Der Dutchman is my favorite place to eat and only a half an hour away from us. It’s always busy but worth the wait! If you ever get a chance to go to Berlin, OH, make sure to go. Rolling hills and gorgeous in the fall! Lots of Amish there and owned businesses. It’s beautiful country and you will fall in love with it. We go every year to camp😊 Only 2 1/2 hrs. from us too! Safe travels😊
This was a roller coaster kind of trip!! This was just plane amazing! Thank you for sharing another fun destination! Sorry David, not sorry!!😅 can’t wait to see how you backed into that driveway!! Have fun,be safe!! Keep that rig between the ditches!!
Thank you for this segment. Your. Trip there was so revealing enjoy your trips on may 1 you might enjoy a trip to Hollander Mi during anniversary of there. Beginning of settlement
Thank you for showing Cedar Point! I took my son there with some friends when he was 10. He is a few weeks from 33 now and is a Daddy. We live in Lafayette IN. The park looks familiar not like it’s changed too much.
Not too much but they have added several big coasters. I think the boardwalk area is expanded a bit. Lots of fun. Thanks, glad you're along on the journey. 😊
HEY GUYS BEAUTIFUL RIDE TO DAY FANTASTIC & SUCH A BLESSING THIS VIDEO GOD BLESS ALL THE MILITARY GOD BLESS YOU GUYS !!! I JUST LOVE YOU GUYS 🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✊✊🙏
I lived in Ann Arbour MI. As a teen. Held a yearly pass for Cieder point. My military moving I have found to stay away from six flags. Cieder point is the best park I found.
I lived in NE Indiana and visited Cedar Point every year. Haven’t been back for over 20 years, but with the exception of newer roller coasters, it looked the same. My father was a navigator on a B-17…same as the Memphis Belle. He crash landed (and survived) in England on his 23rd mission upon return from a bombing mission in Germany. I visited the museum in Dayton 7 years ago as part of a reunion on his squadron (306th in Thurleigh, England). Thanks for the memories
Cedar Point is almost the same but with a few added coasters from several years ago. This B-17s had quite the mission profile and its amazing more were not shot down. Thank you.

The f fours were bad ass fighters and so was the f 15 with the right poilit thire deadly killers of the sky
I've been in Texas for 7 years now, but grew up about 45 minutes away from the Air Force Museum. I really enjoyed seeing how much fun you guys had at Cedar Point and the museum. Though I'm a Texan now, I'll always be a Buckeye!

My Great-Uncle Willis, a farmer at Iron Mountain, Michigan, used to shut the engine off on his 1959 Ford pickup truck whenever going down a hill to save gasoline! With the standard transmission, it was simple to restart the engine while rolling along! He did this constantly while driving! I don't think folks today know about this gasoline saving "secret" LOL!!
We don’t do it because the steering wheel would lock. But new cars do it for us at stop lights. lol
That's true...of course, in todays vehicles everything would lock up! Thanks for sharing.
@@bigtruckbigtravels Yes! Sadly these very expensive and complicated "anti-theft" devices don't seem to stop car thieves! The real thieves are the car companies installing and charging $$$$$ for these worthless and complicated devices!!!
I grew up just an hour from Cedar Point , BEST costers in the US . We were there several times a year ! My Mom was in her late 60es the last time she rode , because she made sure she rode EVERYone that they built . There have been several new ones in the last 20 years since she is gone. Lots of great memories !
Do you know if they still have the Bluestreak and Gemini? I hadn't been there since 1981.
Bluestreak is still rolling!
That's fantastic about your Mom riding the coasters. We didn't see a lot of seniors at the park! Great park with a ton of history.
Loved seeing your tour of the Air Force museum. As a fellow EE, I envy Somdra’s experiences supporting the development of this amazing technology. In her own way, she has served our country honorably in its mission to bolster freedom. Well done 👏
Thank you. We love what the services have done for our country.
Another awesome video with David & Sondra. Thanks for sharing with us. ❤❤

We found diesel for 3.19 per gallon TODAY in Nebraska!!..........Yahoo!!!!
Woohoo!
Next time near Ceder Point try Ottawa Wildlife Preserver 30 miles west of Sandusky on Route 2. It has great birding and other wild life.
Thanks, Marcy. Sounds like a neat place.
Some of the best content on youtube. Thanks for sharing, you guys are fun to watch.
Appreciate your comment. It means a lot to us and glad you enjoy it.

A lot of those, Kristen...lots of "upside down time"! Love the F-15, used to watch them at Langley.
Love seeing the aircraft museum. Thank you for taking us on a tour through it
Glad you enjoyed it, Edward. Thanks for watching
You guys are so cool! I wish I had all of your energy! Blessings to both of you!
Thanks, Laurel. I guess we had our Wheaties that morning! 😆 🤣
Y’all continue to surprise us with your sense of adventuring with those coasters! Another great video! Safe travels!! Sandra and Dave 😎
Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone. Each week is a new adventure, glad you're along on the journey.
When David got into that jet
cockpit he looked 10 years old! That was great to see
Thanks for watching, Steven. I felt like it too! Really wanted to be a fighter pilot but eyes and height were a "no go" back then.
I've lived in Sandusky for 12 years, this area is great in the summer.
Thanks for an awesome video!
Thanks for watching! Lots to do around there. Neat area.
Wow!!! The Air Force Museum is a new bucket list item. I think if we did Cedar Point both of us would end up in traction and not walking for a week. Last time we went to Magic Mountain ( I was much younger) we had sore backs for over a week. I hate to say it but I think we have aged out of roller coasters.🤣😆
Sorry to say, Chris, but we think our bodies can handle more coasters than our heads can...sorry state of affairs. 🫣😉😅

Oh, If I remember correctly, not far away, I think you can visit the Wright Brothers practice field, their grave sites, site where they grew up, the home they built, and more… a quiet gem site in the country. You did a great job stimulating my memory :)
Thank you. A lot happened in that area of Ohio. So cool to see history.
A big thank you for sharing your experiences and all the time it takes to prepare the video for us. We love visiting museums of all kinds as we R.V. across the states and Canada.
Sondra, we know you are a very smart cookie, but holy whaa, you being on the teams who created the aviation electronics for many of the planes we use today. Truly awesome! 🤓😉💜
Thanks for watching, Yvette! Yep, Sondra is one smart cookie...especially since she married me!😁😂🤣😎 We really enjoy the varied experiences we have and love sharing them. Be safe as you travel this summer.
@@bigtruckbigtravels O MY ! never blow your own trumpet it can come back and bite you big time , i stay nuetral with the wifelet for peace and quite.
In the beginning of the video; when you mentioned going to the USAF museum in ohio. I thought "cool.. dad was in the airforce.. ill watch then share your vid with him".
🇺🇸 im now at 33:37 where you mention we are in riverside OH, right outside dayton. I see the hangers... i paused your video... made a Google search. ... This Wright Patterson .. my father was stationed there at Wright Patterson Airforce Base in 70s. We went to St. Peters grade school... and often especially when family came to visit, went to.see the airplanes ✈ in those hangers... my favorite were the flying tigers.
Thank you so much for sharing.
P.S. my father was appointed to organise all transportation for Mrs.Kennedy & lil Patrick...
Im so proud of my father & our country.
No one is perfect...
God bless 🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing your story. That is super cool your Dad was involved at WP. Appreciate your comments and your time watching the channel. 😃
Wow. You two are a couple of kids. I could never get my husband to go on amusement rides. Looks fun. We visited the AF Museum also and we only got partway through the first building. We intend to go back someday to see the rest. But just a warning: Don't buy their food from the cafeteria. It was microwaved and awful and very expensive.
Thanks for watching! We skipped the cafeteria but appreciate your comments. We still enjoy the coasters.
Another interesting adventure with David and Sondra. Thanks for sharing with us.
Glad you enjoyed it, Christy. Thanks
I'm from Columbus and did both Cider Point and Sea World when I was younger. I got to ride the Beast before they closed it.
Nice. Good memories, Mark. Thanks
Looks fun! I would love to see Sondra’s scrapbook sometime!!! That could be a whole episode or 2 😊
Don't encourage her! She could turn it into a whole channel! 🤣😂We'll get more into her journal in the next video. Thanks
This couple , their reactions and overall demeanor is deawteeaw. 😊
Ummm... is that good? 😆
Yes.
I'll coast out offshore in any weather but those rollercoasters are way beyond my capabilities. You are very brave, what a trip.
LOL, Hans, we're not heading out into a Nor'easter, that's for sure! We really appreciate your time watching the channel.
When you showed the tires had sunk it also looked like the bottom of your tires were flatter. lol. Your back tires were rolling forward also. The scattered cemetery is from closed churches often. They get moved or torn down. There use to be churches much more often on the road. The SR-71 is an awesome plane, still the fastest plane to fly. That one looked to be an Aardvark bomber. . Stay safe and healthy.
Thanks for the comments. We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey. Lots of cool planes.
As a past owner of a 41’ diesel pusher, this is THE most interesting RV video on RUclips. Most other videos range from totally boring to mildly interesting. The problem is they are almost all the same - they don’t the problem with my RV trips. Enough room in stretch out, but not too big. AND HAVE flexible, easy access dingy vehicle. Advanced-level, flexible, critical thinking. NICE!
Thanks, Dan. We just travel and show what it's like to do it in a very big rig! Glad you like it. We always are going somewhere!
You guys are just infectious, David and Sondra you are two inspirational people! I have only just come across your site and working through your journeys. It was always a dream of mine to retire from the UK and RV the US for 6 months at a time. I have been lucky to visit your amazing country 9 times and love it. If you ever get a chance to do a short video on your backstory and how you managed to do what you we doing; that would inspire others to understand if we can do it. Something to aspire too! Thank you for your videos 😊
Thank you so much... we are flattered by your comments. We're thinking of doing that story when/if we hit 50K subscribers. We weren't sure anyone would be interested.
I always recommend to visitors to start touring our Air Force Museum from the last hanger, where the modern aircraft and areospace equipment reside, and work yourself back to the front. The best thing about the museum is it is free. Plan to spend plenty of time when visiting. Thanks for profiling our national pride.
We love military aircraft on display. That's a good idea on starting at the back first. Thanks 😄
It so nice to have great wisdom in fixing things . Your a team.😊
😊 thank you, and sometimes we get lucky too! 😆
Love your videos!!! It is refreshing to see a RUclips provider with a great attitude. Other providers could learn a lot from you.
God Bless you
We appreciate that, Tom! We're just living our RV Life with no agenda to sell you anything or scare you either! Lol 😆 😆 It's just our life on the road. Glad you enjoyed it and excited to have you along on the journey. 😊
When you harvest hosted at the Der Dutchman in Plain City you were only 15 minutes from us. We love the Wright Pat air Museum! Safe travels!
Small world for sure. Museum was awesome!
My husband was Air Force...served part of his time in SAC.
Appreciate his service to our country which allows us the freedom to do what we do! Thank you 😊
I'm so glad you saw our national museum of the air force here in dayton ohio..we are very proud of the museum.
Appreciate the comment, Ruth. Neat museum to visit. Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone.
I'm glad to see that you didn't let the may fly infestation "bug" you. As I watched you try to get them off the side of the camper with your hand, it dawned on me how they got their name. When you try to swat them, they "may" fly away... 🤷 I'm glad you showed the Air Force Museum because I wondered if it was exciting or just kinda "plain." 😂 I'm sorry, I'll see myself out now. God bless and safe travels
Lol... on a roll, Bruce. Love the jokes and your "plain" sense of humor. Thanks 😄
@bigtruckbigtravels Yeah it was my plain sense of humor that landed me such a wonderful wife 😆🤷
Another Great Episode!! You went to my favorite Air Museum. My daughter used to live in Dayton. I was able to go to the museum several times and loved each time. The P-51 is my favorite fighter. Beautiful, fast, and that engine makes the sweetest sounds. Seeing it in the video makes me want to go back!!! You had some amazing weather during this trip. Safe Travels!! See you next week.
Thanks, Bill. Love the P-51 too. We had fantastic weather for our visit.
Beautiful Azalea. I've never seen one That full either.❤
Thank you 🤗Justine. We hadn't either which is why we had to video it. Really full and colorful.
Great video, thanks for taking us along!
We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey.
Another great video. Just one problem. You needed a Ohio State Buckeyes shirt. Not Razorbacks...lol
I'd root for Arkansas, never OSU. Go Blue
We really enjoyed OH, John. But...I've got to stay with my Hogs! You guys should have a great team this year!
I'm glad you discovered Sheetz! They're a great place for on-the-road food. Their app shows the locations that have truck fueling, and the price.
Nice, thanks, Jamie. Really nice stores.
I so love the fact that you all are able to take the whole world with you. I love you 2 and I really love traveling with you all to all the different locations.Happy and blessed traveling to u both.😇😇😇👍🏾💯
Thanks, Clarence. We love the ability to change our backyard with the seasons. Super excited to have you along on the journey with us. Stay cool this summer!
Loved every minute of it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thanks for sharing😊
Glad you enjoyed it. We really appreciate your time watching the channel and are excited to have you along on the journey.
I hope you had a great time in my state.😃😃
Lots of fun, Mark. Thanks
Was at the AF Museum about 2 weeks ago. Worked on the C141, F4, and F15 between 1965 and 1988.
That's pretty cool. The F4 was in nice shape, great job. Thank you.
I loved this video. We use to live in Ohio (both girls are Buckeyes) and we have been to Cedar Point many times. In fact, Roger's family has been going there since he was a little boy. We've also eaten at Der Dutchman many times. We loved going to Wright Patterson AF museum. This video was a real trip down memory lane.
Really glad you enjoyed it and it brought back good memories. Thank you
Hi from Canada.🇨🇦 Another great video.
Hi from the southern half! Thank you.
The train ride around the park was delightful. The little
Western looking little section looked a lot like the front
of the buildings in the movie "Green Fried Tomatos". As far as the head stones, families buried their family members close to
their house. To keep them close and safe.
The train ride was an unexpected experience and fun. Thanks, Stephan for the comments.
Yay!!! It's Thursday at last! Dinner and primetime viewing starts with BT²🎉
😂🤣😊too funny! Hope you didn't get any indigestion!
Sounds like you two will live forever with all your steps 😂
As long as we don't step in the wrong area, Mary! Thank you for watching the channel. We're excited to be able to share our experiences.
I wanted to see you back up to the barn. Good video.
Thanks for watching. I think I can, I think I can...
Wow haven't been to Cedar Point since I was a kid, maybe 1971. Our next door neighbor was an Episcopal Minister and one of his parishioners owned Zantop Airlines and we took his Yacht there. Calm going, not so much coming home. Definitely hanging off the back of the boat.
Oh man! That would be quite a ride. Those lakes can change conditions in a heartbeat! Sounds like a cool trip... except the return.
Hi guys...good video...we are on our west trip now ourselves...sitting in roswell nm...making our way up to deer lodge Mt. to see some friends..then over to Custer Sd..we are going to dayton Oh Air force museum at the end of our trip...I want to see the B36 peace maker...😊..thanks for the video...guys stay safe...J&A2ofus
Hi J&A, thank you. Sounds like you have put some miles under you this spring/early summer. That's a nice plan. The Red Lodge area is really nice. Stay safe out there.
Hello! Little insight into the small cemeteries you saw in Ohio, many that are very old and seem to be in the middle of nowhere are people that had passed from scarlet fever or small pox. Others a church at one point had probably been close at one time, many little towns over time closed old churches and congregations consolidated leaving behind only their cemeteries. Not sure your big rig would fit in some of the camp grounds near Hocking Hills or not but it’s a beautiful area with some very nice hiking and beautiful views would suggest going though the week weekends get a little crazy. Love your videos!
Thank you, Sarah, for the explanation. Next time in Ohio, we're heading to Hocking Hills. I'm sure we can fit somewhere!
So the May flies, aka Shad flies, have no mouth parts to bite. They live 24 hours to mate and do the egg thing, then larve, then fly. In northern Ontario there can be clouds of them that look like a cross between a murmuration and an isolated downpour.
Oh my goodness! That's a lot of them. Wow!
Cedar point, we go every year and I’ve been going since 1963. Mayflies along the Great Lakes especially along Lake Erie are prevalent through the months of May, June and the beginning of July. They do not bother you but when you drive on them they click from dieing!
Eeewww! We didn't know about them! Good info for future planning.
You would be surprised how many burial sights are under our own home country. Look it up. I enjoyed watching you both glad your hot on the cell lol. I enjoy traveling camping. Me father in-law loved RV traveling to camp SIGHTS with the church, but this traveling I have watched is awesome your the best . Lord Bless You Both,🙏🙏
Thank you. I'm sure it's a lot more than we think... maybe ignorance is bliss? 😆
Saludos desde Venezuela, felicitaciones a los dos, por los vídeos, excelente trabajo, gracias
Thank you, Olga. Love having you along on the journey. 😊
Museum story time! I am a vet. 6 years active USAF and 6 years Air Guard. Entered the AF in 1979 at age 17 and became an avionics mechanic maintaining the radar directed tail gun on the B-52H. It is known as Defensive Fire Control. The B-52 is the largest aircraft to record an air to air victory. Two Migs were shot down by B-52D gunners during the Vietnam war. One by A1C Albert Moore and the first by Ssgt Samuel Turmer. You should had seen the artifact display at the museum to the Turner shoot down. In that display case is one barrel from his aircraft when he shot that Mig. Why only one barrel being when there were 4 guns in that turret? Not many know the whole story as it was told to me when I was at fire control school by an instructor who was there recovering that aircraft after that mission. When there was a fireout on a system, all the barrels get pulled and changed out. On Turners aircraft, they only pulled one barrel because the other 3 .50 caliber machine guns had jammed leaving almost all of the ammo on board. No need to pull them. So, that Mig was brought down by a signal .50 cal. Now you know the rest of the story! Great video!!! I consider a visit to the Museum of the United Sates Airforce a 4 day event to really take it all in. Way to much to see in a day or two. Thank you folks!
Thank you for sharing. Great story and love the background to it. That is too cool... don't want to mess with a .50 cal in the air. Definitely more than a day to take it all in. Appreciate your service to our country which allows us to be able to live this life.
Can’t imagine how much work goes into producing these LONG videos.
Thank you for watching the channel. We're glad to share our experiences with everyone.
Years ago I lived across the bay from Cedar Point, early morning you could hear the swoosh off the rollercoasters and train whistle!
Oh wow! You had fun right across the street...I guess you got used to the "swoosh". Thanks
Welcome to our part of the woods. We're in Toledo. All those bugs are May Flies. I live in an area called Point Place. Scoop shovels are needed to throw them away when they die.
Btw Point Place Toledo is the part of town that The 70's Show was based on.
If visiting, do not bring your rig. Your little car would work best.
Interesting I've never watched the 70s show. I think we passed through Point Place and went east along Lake Erie the other year. Family is from Bedford Twp, Monroe Co, MI.
@karenenglish4900 oh wow, you went right past my house. We are at the 2nd to the last exit on 75 before the state line.
Thanks for the tip. We can park the big boy away from town.
Awesome trip you have taken us on! Beautiful country, Cedar Point, Midges, The National Air Force Museum (I like is free entry?) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base… WOW, GREAT vid. Thanks. 🙂
Thank you. Very cool with the free admission and wanting to share all that history for all to experience.
The cemeteries are probably a township cemetery or possibly a local church. Nice to see you two having fun at Cedar Point, that place gets very busy and so popular. 😮 looks like you’ll get your steps in . Interesting, thanks for the fun.
Thank you for watching the channel, Judy. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone while we get our steps in! 😊🤣
Thanks for another great video...the air museum was huge ,o much history...travel safe..kev.🇦🇺
Thanks, Kev. It was huge and amazing. So much history.
Thank you for taking me back to my childhood. Car trip from SLC, UT. to Dayton, OH. Uncle was in the Air Force, so off to the museum we went. Again, thank you.
You're very welcome. We're excited to have you along on the journey and that you enjoyed the video. It's cool that it brought back personal memories. 😎
Another awesome video
Very nice scenery as well
That Air Force museum is amazing
🤙🤙🤙🤙
Thank you. It was over the top.
This was such a great, interesting, fun video!! Thanks again!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Awesome vid. I could feel the G forces. Your sense of humor totally makes my day roll. Thanks and keep them coming!!
You're welcome. Our heads could feel them too!
Loved this episode on the Air Museum! Both hubby and I love both vintage and modern planes too. Thanks for putting this on our radar for when we hit the road full time! And, I’m with you Sondra, quash those pesky lil boogers!😉👍🏼Be safe out there guys!❤~Wendy
Glad you enjoyed it, Wendy! Oh... she was squashing them all right! Great museum to visit. Thanks for watching the channel.
Hubby worked for Boeing commercial for 34 years in Seattle Metro area -We love visiting the airplane museums-We haven’t been to this one but I hope we can visit it -It looks like they have just about everything-We have the Museum of Flight at Seattle Boeing and a smaller museum in Everett-You can also take a tour of the Boeing Everett Plant and it is really neat -If you get up this way again 🛩️✈️🚀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks, Mary. Love that area of Washington so you never know. Our son-in-law used to work for Boeing.
What a great video I grew up in Ohio visiting Cedar point every summer. I also spent 8 years in the AirForce flying B- 52’s so have always loved the Dayton Museum. Keep on living the traveling life.
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate your service to our country. Cedar Point is fun. Thanks
I had to chuckle when you were driving past those cemeteries, we were boondocking near Yuma, Az but on the california side right by a really really old graveyard. And i was sure i heard rocks rolling around during the night. There was a really, really old mine there too.
Oh man! That would be a little creepy boondocking that close! At least you weren't IN the graveyard!
We were invaded once with the ladybug look-a-likes! Thousands of them. I also got the vacum out, but I was finding them for a year so. They liked to hide in the curtains & any crevice. 😮
Yes! They love the curtains! I think we've gotten them all! Whew!
Thanks for another great video and insight into what Sandra used to do! I knew she was a smart cookie ;).
Glad you enjoyed it and she's pretty smart for sure...especially for marrying me! 😀 😆 🤣
Wonderful video my son and I watched it all way through thank you ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for spending the time to watch the channel, Pam. We're excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone and to give back to the RV community.
Oh her in New Zealand our cemeteries are usually on the edge of town and we call them the dead centres. Lol...
Interesting description, Lois. I like it though...dead centre. Very descriptive. Thank you
Ha Ha, 'You don't want to get in a fight with me'.
Sondra, those are fighting words. I wonder if the room dividers on the presidential plane were bullet proof? Were they glass/plexiglass? They were probably installed for privacy; but, maybe for security too.
😆 🤣 she was serious too! The glass panels were to protect the interior from the public so not part of the original build. Thanks
Thanks so much and God Bless!
You're welcome, Christine. Thanks for watching.
Haven’t been to the Air Force Museum for quite a while since the hubs and I moved from Indiana but it was a really neat thing to see😊 Der Dutchman is my favorite place to eat and only a half an hour away from us. It’s always busy but worth the wait! If you ever get a chance to go to Berlin, OH, make sure to go. Rolling hills and gorgeous in the fall! Lots of Amish there and owned businesses. It’s beautiful country and you will fall in love with it. We go every year to camp😊 Only 2 1/2 hrs. from us too! Safe travels😊
Thank you. More to see in Ohio, we'll return. Good food that night!
This was a roller coaster kind of trip!! This was just plane amazing! Thank you for sharing another fun destination! Sorry David, not sorry!!😅 can’t wait to see how you backed into that driveway!! Have fun,be safe!! Keep that rig between the ditches!!
😆 🤣 Thanks, Marian and that's funny! We were hoping the video would take-off.
Thank you for this segment. Your. Trip there was so revealing enjoy your trips on may 1 you might enjoy a trip to Hollander Mi during anniversary of there. Beginning of settlement
Oh... we're heading to Holland, MI next year. Woohoo!
OMG! You guys were two miles from where we live by the Air Force Museum! Wish we'd known...lol
Oh man....that's close, Scott. Always fun to see everyone on the road when it works out.
All over Nebraska there are family plots and small cemeteries. It’s actually quite common.
Thanks. We just hadn't seen it much before, James.
Thank you for showing Cedar Point! I took my son there with some friends when he was 10. He is a few weeks from 33 now and is a Daddy. We live in Lafayette IN. The park looks familiar not like it’s changed too much.
Not too much but they have added several big coasters. I think the boardwalk area is expanded a bit. Lots of fun. Thanks, glad you're along on the journey. 😊
HEY GUYS BEAUTIFUL RIDE TO DAY FANTASTIC & SUCH A BLESSING THIS VIDEO GOD BLESS ALL THE MILITARY GOD BLESS YOU GUYS !!! I JUST LOVE YOU GUYS 🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✊✊🙏
Thank you so very much for your time watching the channel. 😃
I lived in Ann Arbour MI. As a teen. Held a yearly pass for Cieder point. My military moving I have found to stay away from six flags. Cieder point is the best park I found.
It's a great park with a ton of fun rides. Thanks
Took my granddaughter in June we had a blast try to go every year 😊
It's a fun place. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
41:39 that’s crazy I respect that you’re the brains of the operation I just started watching would’ve never thought
The behind the scenes brains for sure! Thanks for watching.
I lived in NE Indiana and visited Cedar Point every year. Haven’t been back for over 20 years, but with the exception of newer roller coasters, it looked the same.
My father was a navigator on a B-17…same as the Memphis Belle. He crash landed (and survived) in England on his 23rd mission upon return from a bombing mission in Germany. I visited the museum in Dayton 7 years ago as part of a reunion on his squadron (306th in Thurleigh, England).
Thanks for the memories
Cedar Point is almost the same but with a few added coasters from several years ago. This B-17s had quite the mission profile and its amazing more were not shot down. Thank you.
Your trip inspired me to visit The Museum of Flight in Seattle. I used to drive by it daily to go to work.
Sounds great. I'll bet it is very cool.
