Got to see Ryan there again, whom I hadn't seen since several years ago at Chino. He says hi to all.
Also got a shot of what's left of the 94th Aero Squadron restaurant; don't know what happened to the airplane mockups:

This was it in happier times (2005):

*OK, so it's now Chicago Executive or whatever. We still call that big building downtown the Sears Tower, too.

Monday 7/21/14 10:00am the Bombers are still on the ramp at PWK (Chicago Executive)
Seems to have been a great weekend for the Collings Foundation in Chicagoland.
The 94th Aero Squadron fiberglass mock ups, some made there way out to the flailing Air Classic Museum in Sugar Grove IL. Not sure they all made it, reports that the mustang and T-bolt are there along with the remainder of a once proud museum.

Both B-17 and B-24 departed PWK and headed east over Lake Michigan.
Good Luck! God Speed!
