I just got back to the office after having witnessed a fly by of the local
wing of the Confederate Airforce (a great advantage of inner city
airports). This group restores and flies vintage military aircraft. Planes
included the P-40, P-51 Mustang, Spitfire, and a Thunderbolt. Many had the
D-Day stripes on their wings.
As our cars (especially the '50s models) were built in that era
'after-the-great-war', I offer a word of encouragement, to stop and
remember those who went before us, at some point this weekend.

There will be a B-17 on which one can purchase a ride at Addison airport
this weekend. I will pass on this, as I think racing a 41 year old car is
exciting enough. FLYNG in a 61 year old plane, however fun, seems........
