Hello again Folks, yet another week has zoomed into history. The new noseart on “The Movie Memphis Belle” is complete. Frank Schaufler did a bang up job on it. There’s a photo of it on the Message Board on HAG’s website under “Museum pics” posted by Austin Hancock if you’d like to drop by and take a look. The Heavy vs Heavy contest is shaping up nicely. The first two contests resulted in the choice of “Princess Elizabeth” as our mascot P-51 and “Briefing Time as our mascot B-25. The message Board is approaching 36,000 visitors already. (Wednesday night) We hit 35,000 last Saturday. Life is good. On that positive note, let’s get down to some serious history. shall we?
Take Care and Be Safe,
