This Week In Military/Aviation History 31 March – 6 April
April 3, 2008 4:17 pmHello Folks, well, April is here already. Getting ever so much closer to the 2008 Geneseo Airshow “Flying Tigers Reunion.” Hope you’ve stopped by our website for the latest news. The Museum Message Board I moderate hit a milestone of 30,000 visitors. That’s in just over a year. Our posters have been providing some excellent warbird photos and some from the early NWM years of the 1980s. I didn’t get seriously involved until 1993, so these are a treat for me. Since 2007 was the Year of the Mustang due to the GML, Jeff Hunt has been holding a “contest” for the Mustang Of the Board. Looks like the final two will be “Princess Elizabeth” vs “Big Beautiful Doll.” If you have a favorite between these two, stop by and vote. www.1941hag.org subheading Message Board. Now that the commercial is over, let’s get on to the main feature and some serious history, shall we?
Take Care and Be Safe,
