I know that place very well, I use to fly for the guys in the hanger next door. A cool place The Texas Air Museum. Uncle Jack looks a lot like Gary when Uncle Jack was over in Europe. Gary is a class act.

Good stuff! My Uncle Lance flew 24s in the South Pacific; Uncle Milton was a tailgunner in a 17 over Europe. Have a soft spot for these birds and the men who flew them.

My first flight instructor and long time friend Chuck Meister was a crew chief and sometime gunner on an A-26.
Chuck died several years ago at the age of 85. He lead a full life and full aviation career and was a true gentlemen. I only wish I could have record his life's stories before he flew west. I miss him a lot.
