Such Modern, So Luxury
Sure, you've been on a Boeing 747 and maybe even an Airbus A380. But have you ever been on a Ford Tri-Motor 5-AT-B? I doubt it, seeing as they were the height of civilian passenger aircraft circa 1928. If you'd like to check out this luxurious relic, drive out to Double Eagle II Airport between April 6-9 from 8am-5pm. You can check out the “Tin Goose” for free or cough up $50 (kids) to $75 (adults) to actually take a ride. There will also be presentations and book-signing by Robert F. Kirk, author of Flying the Lindbergh Line: Then and Now. That will have you flyin' high. (Renée Chavez)

Clean Start
Songkran—the Thai and Laotian New Year—is known as “the water splashing festival” because of the tradition of bathing idols of the Buddha as a purification ritual. Young celebrants also wash the hands of their elders as a sign of reverence and participate in water fights after a morning spent offering food and time to monks. You can celebrate Songkran this year by visiting Wat Buddhasothorn (the Buddhist Center of New Mexico) this Saturday and Sunday, April 8 and 9, starting at 10am. The festival is open to all ages and free to attend. (Joshua Lee)via WikicommonsWat BuddhasothornSongkran Festival- Bachechi Open SpaceFamily Fun

Grow It Like Your Grandma Did
If you didn't get the hint from our gardening issue—now is the time to grow! But how, you ask? How could one possibly grow delicious, nutritious vegetables in the desert? Well, you dumb-dumb, you can do it like people have been doing it for centuries. Learn how to make waffle (no, not the breakfast food: It's a pattern of indented squares to hold water), mound and more traditional gardening techniques at Seasons of Growth Gardening Class this Sunday, April 9, at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center from 9-11am. We suggest donating $5 to go to the program and the invaluable cultural center. (Rini Grammer)

City on the EdgeCity on the Edge is a breezy, smart podcast looking at the stories from Albuquerque history that have often been overlooked. Each episode takes a deep dive into a topic like the 1955 crash of TWA flight 260, Sandia Man or the 1918 quarantine. Worthwhile listening that will spur your curiosity about things you didn’t even know about in the city where you live. It’s free and available wherever you get your podcasts. (Clarke Condé)
