World's Largest Mosquito
Just left the place where the Mosquito is on display inside the building. It's unique looking to say the least. The people inside were friendly and offered us a tour, but we didn't have the time. We had no idea they gave tours or we would have gone at a more convenient time for us. We took some pictures and looked at their display in the hallway leading to the mosquito.

The airfield guard was nice enough to show us the building so we could see the mosquito from the outside. He said to call ahead during the work week for a tour of the Mosquito Control Center and to get up close with the giant insect. The airfield and the Mosquito Control Center are adjacent to a neighborhood where the every home has a hangar instead of a garage and an airplane instead of a car.
