Hello,

First my I say my friend told me about this site(which I never knew was around) and I must say it looks like a good one. I frequent a site called us-aircraft.com,a great site also,and it just so happened that I became best friends with the man that owns the site-he's helped me out in rough times too! I just turned 18 yrs old and I am really into avaition, military aviation-primarily WWII stuff. I have done a lot of research on my own relating to WWII aircombat, and my interest is early WWII things. My main major I work on is the Japanese attack on Hawaii Dec 7th. That is mt favorite subject of WWII(well, techniqually the U.S. wasen't in the war yet, but it was a fight). I work on the aircombat mostly, did you know 70 U.S. aircarft were airborn during the attack? Not a few like most books and resources say. My second favorite battle is the Battle Of Midway.

My favorite plane of all time is the P-40. I never have any dobts about hte P-40. Its too bad a lot of people put down the P-40 when it acually had some very good qualities.

Im also into war movies and other types of combat.

I will tell you all more, but know I ggot to get readdy for school.

But my first question is about C-119's. I would like to know how many are still flying, plus if anyone knows of any sitting in a feild being neglected?

Thanks,

Tally Ho,
Nathan
