My wife just informed me of his passing last night. I don't have much of an internet presence here but I go to the GA rally every year. 3 years ago was our first rally and my wife and I didn't know anyone, online or in person. Our first morning at breakfast we were sitting by ourselves and Ron...

We are planning to have the ambulance there for the opening ceremony on the 17th. We were asked to bring it a couple months ago, we should be there unless something breaks on the 50 mile drive.

A few pictures from the show with the C46 and C47.

Now I can go to bed. It looks good to me.

Some more progress. The pictures are from last night. The "army medical service" decal is not straight and I will have to redue it. I will worry about that later, it's going to a huge warbird show this weekend. It's not really speed so much as determination, I have been putting anywhere from...
