A slight difference would be that Brad sent me this photo he took of our dear friend
Gary's B-29 FE flight bag and logbook which Brad now uses and asked me to share
it with everyone on wix. I hope that's OK if not I triple dare you to ask him your question :shock: :shock:

Authorised to fly backwards for history...

If you read this Brad, congratulations, and a great honor in all directions.

My most heartfelt congratulations Brad, that's an awesome achievement in and of itself... and to follow on as a qualified FE from our dear friend Gary, well, it's special beyond words.

You never miss a chance to honor his memory, and I can scarcely think of a better way to do so than to continue taking care of these wonderful machines which he helped to keep living. Well done sir- well done indeed.
