Being mainly a lurker I don't think I qualify for full WIX'er status but I'll be shamelessly self indulgent anyway!

I got involved with warbirds in the late 80's at Bob Ponds, "Planes of Fame East" doing restoration and maintenance work on his fleet. When the Museum moved to Palm Springs, I began working with Roger Christgau on his P-51 and to a much more limited degree, with the CAF's Minnesota Wings AC. I also do my time in the sandbox being a ramp monkey (Marshaller) at the local shows with "Scoop" Darnell, and I've even been Ground Boss at a few of those shows. I have recently been offered the position of CC on the CAF "C" model Mustang (Doug-n-Daal if you read this, you should know my answer by tonight or tomorrow!)

BDK and other So. Cali's: I'd love to meet you this spring at the POF show in May. Is my buddy "JD" going to be the airboss again this year?
