Jim,
Believe me, the pleasure was all ours! We hope that yall will come back! I don't remember how many rides the B-17 and B-24 did, but all told ,over the four day event, we gave over 120 rides in the museum's airplanes and helicopters. I don't know if that included your Huey ride or not! I think it's safe to say a good time was had by all. I was real glad to see the B-24 fly away with a piece of my Airplane hooked to the #3 engine! I hope the relay for the B-17 tail wheel worked.
I also want to add that it was a pleasure to get to meet you and thanks for hooking me, Gary (P-51 Crew chief) and the other volunteers up with the rides. Next time I will do my best to get a couple of yall in the Skyraider.
For those who haven't had the chance to meet Jim, he is one happy camper! I thought I had a dream job flying on Air Force planes for a living and warbirds for fun. But, he has me beat by a long shot! Jim and everybody that I have ever met that is associated with the Collings Foundation are a pure pleasure to work with. If you have the means and the chance to help support their organization and planes, please do it.
Brad
