The wheel chocks are set and you may now set the mixtures to idle cut off and turn the mags off on those Wright 3350 engines. It's time to come home.

God Bless You!!!!

I just went through my e-mails and read the AVWeb urgent message. He was brave and lucky to fly such a beautiful plane.

What a legacy. It's amazing to have had such a tremendous impact on the world we live in. Can you imagine what things would look like today if his mission had not been a success? It's hard to imagine.

Here's a toast to the hoast of those who love the vastness of the sky.

To a friend, we send a message of his brother men who fly.

We drink to those who gave their all of old

Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.

A toast to the host of men we boast, the US Air Force.
