I'm glad you got to go for a ride! For me, it was an experience of a lifetime, hopefully you got as much joy out of it as I did. I found out later that that aircraft was never restored for the ground up; it was always kept in flyable condition and well maintained. Sent from my iPhone using...

Yeah, that's never a good day. It's so sad to see them go down like that. Fortunately, nobody was hurt when that happened. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just went for a ride in one yesterday. Madras Maiden out of Oklahoma is in town for the week for pubic rides and tours. If you haven't gone up in one yet, make it a point to do so. It was truly awe-inspiring and you really get a feel for what service was like in those aircraft. I'll get some...
