Steve: Last I heard (a year ago) was that is was to go to
Dayton. I flew over it last week and its still @ Kelly
on the Southwest side of the base. When I was a kid, I crawled all through it as it was left in the open, unlocked
for many years. When the CAF was going somewhere besides
San Antonio, they wanted the CAF to move there and there
was talk about restoring her then... How's Breckville these
days? Did Nelson get the picture of him I took in Doc Cobb's mustang?

Take care,
Lynn
