Air Heritage Museum - Beaver Falls PA

A few miles north of Pittsburgh is the Air Heritage Museum in Beaver Falls PA. Here you can get an up close look at vintage aircraft. They restore and maintain various types of planes from WWII and the Viet Nam War. The gentlemen who work there are very knowledgeable about the planes and are a pleasure to talk to.
Thanks guys. Thanks for preserving history.

Orienteering

Now that my mountain biking days are over, I have found a new, great sport: Orienteering. It's cheap, fun, great exercise and it gets me back into the great outdoors. I went to a meet at Hartwood Acres this summer and loved it. Check out the club's website:

The National Aviary

If you like the zoo, you will love the National Aviary on Pittsburgh's Northside. There are some truly spectacular species of birds to be seen. Some in cages, others fly free in the room with you. Don't wear you best shirt. :)
