Navy Base - Sand Point

Yesterday I learned that the first flight around the world originated in my own back yard at the old Navy Base, "Sand Point" on Lake Washington. It is near Seattle. It is hoped that a museum can be created at Sand Point where some old planes can be displayed in the old hangers. A proposal can be viewed at: http://www.memorieshop.com/Seattle/SUPPORT/Sand-Point/Proposal.html where there is a link to the world flight story. I also hope a display about Navy Support can be placed in the museum, using a model of a Navy Oiler like that shown at: http://www.usnavyoilers.com/Model/Oilers.html
