On May 19 and 20 the Peru,Illinois Airshow featured the TBM Avenger aircraft. Several of these WWII dive bombers were present at the show. This is the type of plane that President George HW Bush flew during WWII.
It was a fantastic show.

I have always admired bridges. They are often an engineering marvel and this bridge is no exception. The Lake Barkley bridge was opened in 2019 and replaced and older bridge. Crossing the Cumberland River at Canton, Kentucky, the bridge is stunning at sunset.

Did you know there are Elks in Kentucky? They used to roam freely in the western Kentucky area and were hunted out to extinction over a hundred years ago. They have been reintroduced to the Land Between the Lakes area in a special prairie for them and a buffalo heard.
