Gallery Update: A Visit to Driggs

I took a day for myself today and made a drive through the eastern Idaho countryside by the Tetons to Driggs and the Driggs-Reed Memorial Airport, which is home to the Teton Aviation Center. This FBO has a well-known cafe, as well as a rotating warbird collection that's open to the public. I made this drive to Driggs to check out the warbirds. Afterwards, I sat at the Warbirds Cafe patio and enjoyed some drinks while plane-spotting!
