The USS Regulator's landing party met up with the crew of the IKS Maelstrom at the American Airlines C. R. Smith Museum near DFW Airport. The tour was awesome. The museum is home to many exhibits of civil aviation history, and includes items like models, uniforms, equipment, engines, helmets, and tools. Currently, there's an exhibit called "Black Wings", which informed us about the history of negro aviators (such as the famous Tuskegee Airmen.) The museum is also home to a DC-3 that guests are allowed to enter, sit in, and explore. In my opinion, the DC-3, called the "Flagship Knoxville" was worth the entry fee by itself. After the tour, the crews visited the museum's gift shop, where most of us acquired treats of Freeze Dried Ice Cream as well as other mementos of our visit. Immediately following, we journeyed to near-by Grapevine to enjoy lunch with the DFW Area Browncoats, a loose organization of Firefly/Serenity fans in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The Browncoats have a rotating meeting schedule, and go to three different restaurants in the DFW area: the Ol' South Pancake House in Fort Worth, the Main Street Bistro in Grapevine, and a place in Richardson the name of which escapes me. I have attended a few meetings in the past at the Fort Worth location, but this is the first time In a long time I've had the first Saturday of the month off. Based on their service today in this joint mission, I will recommend 1LT Roon Marchant, ENS Perry Brulotte, and ENS(JG) Amanda Fralicks for a Joint Service Ribbon. Mr. Marchant & Ms. Fralicks served today with the crew of the IKS Maelstrom, and Mr. Brulotte participated in the meeting of the Browncoats. Everyone had fun today, which means our primary mission was accomplished. As we returned to our separate shuttlecraft, Perry and Katelyn indicated their intentions to see the new movie, "Warm Bodies." I look forward to hearing their reports on it.
