Well stated Spook. I am fortunate to work with a WWII vet who flew the Douglas A-20 in North Africa and later Italy. His wife is a retired nurse who was among the first group into the concentration camps after the war's end. They have stories that will both thrill and horrify. And while they are humble about what they did, we all owe people such as them so much. Mike PS: Ain't the T-6 a hoot? I had the chance to get some back seat time in one while in Florida a few years back. What fun. Next on my list....the T-28. -----Original Message----- Folks, This is a wonderful piece of writing that expresses thanks to our veterans in a very special way. All our veterans are wonderful, but my special favorites are WWII pilots, both the men and the WASPS and WACS. I seek them out. Unfortunately they are fast disappearing. When I was fortunate enough to get a ride with WWII Navy Pilot and T-6 owner, Lee, I was awestruck, just awestruck. His plane is impressive but he is even more impressive. 83 and still flying almost every Saturday. I couldn't get him to talk to me very much, but then he didn't have to. Having the honor of being able to ride with him in his plane told me everthing I needed to know.
