For Red Baron
Red Baron, John Chapman is a personal friend of mine and your comments are without tact, almost boarding on infantile. :mad: Please keep your comments to the item being discussed and you might gain a "little" more respect.
Steve, you should have been here in April as we hosted a symposium of 352nd pilots. Punchy Powell was the moderator of the symposium and we also had aces Don Bryan, Sandy Moats and Alden Rigby here along with one other P-51 pilot. After the event, the local association brought 5 blue Ford...
