7/4/09: They weren’t counting on someone like me to show up…

All you can eat Salmon and fly by, at the Alaska Aviation Museum. Somebody didn’t think this one all the way through. $25 got you into the museum and all the salmon, burgers, hot dogs, and coleslaw you could eat. Colin and I took full advantage of the proposition, spending over 4 hours indulging ourselves on sockeye salmon.

We saw planes built in the 1940’s flying around, several float planes take off and land about 10 feet from where we were, and a lot of amazing feats of gravity. Some of the pilots started to not only buzz us just above our heads, but also banked into the turn so hard we could see entire top side of the plane.

Though the planes were amazing and unique, Colin and I did not allow any plane to interfere with our mass consumption of salmon. Each of us devoured about 7 servings of salmon and were never distracted too much by all the peripheral food offered up on the same table. I definitely ate my $25 worth of salmon!!
