Second stop on our way from visiting the museum of science to the falls. Whenever we stop at memorials like this, I can't help but realize how much was paid but men and women who were often at the same age and life stage as I am at - 30-somthing with young kids. I can't imaging leaving my family to go far away for so long and with so high a chance of never returning. And yet so many went, and still go, willingly. I am grateful.
I will add my photos shortly. Thanks Mr.Yuck for the virtual, our first of that tyoe with OCNA and our second OCNA find.

2771. Great memorial. I hope all the folks that pass this regularly, take a moment to realize what it means.
This was my last find of the day with my son (JuniorNimrod), before heading to Niagar Falls to check in to our hotel and go to dinner.
Thanks and Happy Trails! See you at GeoWoodstock!

Had a short conversation with a woman at the location who also remembered climbing on the jet as a child. She said "I don't know why they fenced it off. We climbed on it when we were kids and WE never fell off." Some people just don't get it.
It's nice to see that they have done some restoration work on the Cougar as part of the project. It was looking a bit shabby the last time I was near it.

I was already in bed last night when this one got published. I saw the email this morning as I was finishing my morning Timmys wile i was at my first stop of the day. At first I thought it was the closer memorial but I was wrong. I looked up the corrds on the site and plunked them into my GPSr. Visited the site @13:00 hrs on my way back to the plant. Thanks for a cool virtual. This area is vastly improved from the last time I drove by. If you look close you can see what I named the waypoint.

Allright I'm going to say it outloud....
Generally I'm not akin to these virtual caches, after all isn't that why Rayman invented Waymarking, but since TWU (wait I'm TWU here aren't I) I mean Mr Yuckie considered placing a physical cache here I guess its alright.
Anyway I was headed that way this morning and jumped off the Youngman 1 exit early to visit the impressive memorial and take a few photos. Here's one on them...
CHECK OUT THOSE SPOT ON COORDS!
Thanks for adding to the Opencaches available locally.

Wow! When did they do all of that? The last I knew the plane was surrounded by an orange fence. Guess I haven't been that way in a while.
I do remember it as playground equipment. We played on it as kids. That was mid sixties. Hard to believe that that plane was there for nearly 50 years before someone decided it was a monument and shouldn't be played on.
