Warhawk War museum

My uncle flew milk runs in WWII over China, personnel mostly. He didn't talk too much about it while I was growing up, so I can't give you many details. A relatively safe job in a dangerous war. Came back home, built a career, helped my Grandpa work a farm, had a good life. He was my favorite uncle.

After he retired, he helped found this museum in Nampa, ID. It's mostly full of just stuff that people have from the war, but part of that stuff is pretty dang cool.

When my Aunt Betty died, he built a brand new wing onto the building in her honor.

If you ever get the chance to go, I heartily recommend it. It's not fancy, the displays are ad-hoc and a little on the funky side, but there is some amazing stuff in this building.
