I have! It's not far from my home. It's a phenomenal sight - huge!!!
That is so cool! I'll bet that you go there quite often. :) Does the Airforce Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado have any part of the research that you do? And have you been there? I was really close this last summer, but we went to the Olympic Training Center, one of my dream locations!!
Hi Emily - I've been to the Hornet twice, but I haven't been to the USAF Academy. In fact, I've only been to Colorado once - unless you count the Denver Airport on layovers :)
Haha, maybe you will get your chance yet. :)
