Tulsa Air & Space Planetarium
My hubbie and I took our grandaughter to the TAS Museum & Planetarium last weekend. She liked the show at the Planetarium but really enjoyed "flying" in the planes at the museum. She and Grammy (me) "flew" over Broken Arrow, Tulsa, and Kingfisher. We went into several "tail spins" but managed to recover and get home at last! Take your kids to the TAS Museum. I think you'll enjoy it. Cindy Downes.
