Happy Memorial Day 2013

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

- John F. Kennedy
  Inaugural address, January 20, 1961

Happy Birthday Bob Hoover !

Tomorrow, 1/24/12, will be Bob Hoover's 90th birthday.

We send our best wishes to Bob, the GREATEST PILOT OF ALL TIME, and a REAL AMERICAN HERO.

We were lucky enough to shake his hand back in the 80's.

Picture below was at an airshow in 2000. His Shrike is now in the Smithsonian, parked next to a Concorde.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOB !
