I live in the midwest, it is what we do.

Last summer dad, the kids and I were at a motorcycle stunt show and shared a lunch table with a guy sitting by himself. Said he used to build planes when he was younger and me, being interested in aviation asked him what kind. He said it was one I had probably never heard of, some supersonic bomber in the 60s. I asked if it was the XB-70 Valkyrie and his eyes lit up. He thought us "young people" would have no clue but even the kids knew what it was. It was an interesting half hour conversation.
