I have never been to a pigeon show before, so when I saw one nearby, I decided to check it out. There were a lot of varieties, as shown in my photos below. There were several areas that had judges performing their role with what looked certain varieties. Many were making the soft cooing sounds and seemed alert but content.

Nike Missile Silo - Waukesha, WI
Photos of the old Nike Missile Silo in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Shown are the structures remaining. I believe the area was supposed to have converted to a type of museum. The overlooking view is quite beautiful.
VOR - Vertical Omnidirectional Range
Ever since I was part of the Civil Air Patrol years ago, I have been interested in VOR's. Some of them look like sombrero hats. Pilots use them to navigate, and i've always wanted to see one up close.
After much searching, I wasn't able to find any photos of what they look like inside. I am contemplating contacting some of the local airports to see if they can tell me more, or if they have photos of the interiors. I have heard that due to what they contain, I cannot actually go inside of one. But with all of the things on the internet, including photos of the insides of water towers, why not VOR's?
I'll post any that I can take a photo of. I have not been able to get close enough to take a good image of one yet.
If you have any photos you'd like to share, especially what the insides look like, please let me know.
