Jim--

Good to hear the C-97 is still coming along. I fondly remember spotting N117GA (well who could miss it!) at Hondo, Texas, twelve years ago when she was still "Spirit of Corpus Christi". Saw the C-54 when she visited the '96 (iirc) Mt.Hope airshow--having seen her several other times when she was Carl Millard's C-GQIB. (Saw something hilarious happen at Mt.Hope indirectly involving your C-54: the "German youngster" mannequin was standing near one of the boarding stairs; a lady bumped into it as she walked by, turned around and politely apologized to it!) Sadly there's no Mt.Hope show anymore ('01 was the last year)...Might we see the Skymaster or the "Strat" at Willow Run some year??
