Congrats Wayne, that's a great pic to have hanging over the bench. Did you try to get the pilots to sign it? That would make it a fantastic pic.
Just got back from the Malvern area about an hour ago. A friends daughter was in a play at Villa Maria. For a bunch of young kids, it was a pretty good show.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
Jim,
We've been to WWII Weekend in Reading each year for the last 8 years as part of the Victory Society that runs the Home Front area and have frequently chatted with the crews of FIFI (B-29), Yankee Lady (B-17), and Tinker Belle (C-46). You're right, they are some of the nicest, most passionate folks you can meet, even have a picture of myself in my 20th AF class A's by FIFI's nose gear.

Just a bit of info. This is not an endorsement of any kind, just my experience. A few years ago, I received a letter from the Commemorative Air Force for donations to keep Fifi flying. I sent them a small donation, and received a CAF cap with their logo on the front and Ghost Squadron Crew on the back. They also put my name in a log book that is kept on her at all times. It gives me a good feeling every time I see pics of her and hear stories about her. They bring various planes to the Reading Pa. Air Show every year and we've had chances to talk to the pilots. A great bunch of guys. One of these days maybe I'll get a chance to take a ride in one of them.
fox Thanks for the link Toshi! Great film. Jim

WillysMB FIFI and DOC flew together at Oskosh this week, first time two B-29's have flown together since probably the 50's.
