Frontiers of Flight and Reunion Tower

A Thursday visit to Reunion Tower in Downtown Dallas A great view of the city

Reunion Tower is a 561 ft observation tower and one of the most recognizable landmarks in Dallas, Texas. Located at 300 Reunion Blvd. in the Reunion district of downtown Dallas, the tower is part of the Hyatt Regency Hotel complex, and is the 15th tallest building in Dallas.

Celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck opened the fine-dining restaurant, If you have $60.00 a plate, the tower's rotating top level would be a great stop for you.

It is a city landmark and a fun stop.

A tour of the Frontiers of Flight Museum is a great experience. During your experience, you will bridge several lifetimes starting with the pioneers who realized their earliest dreams of flying; identifying with the aviators of the 20's and 30's, known as the "Golden Age of Flight"; understanding the sacrifices of the fliers of World War II; and progressing to the jet and rocket age of today. This solid mass greets you. It is to allow a continuous flow of space through and around the monolith. With the round apertures framing the surrounding landscape and the richly varied green patina of the bronze, the overall effect of the sculpture is one of natural forms and forces.


I could get in, however, the can of diet coke couldn't get in at the same time

The Air Force had guides that would take you through the museum


Sister Nelson was so excited about the arrival of her new Grand Daughter, Anna Isabel,that she couldn't enjoy the flight
