Actually met Bob the other day and had a look though his Harpoon (Disguised as a Ventura). Nice plane but a lot of work still to go.

Just wanted to thank Scott and Chris and several of the others at the CAF for your hospitality while in Mesa. You have a fine museum there and the B-17 and B-25 look great! I haven't seen the B-17 since the large gathering at Geneseo way back when!
And good meeting up with you Kevin!
You guys all have an open invitation to get together for a walk around at CWH if ever you get up to Canada! Eh!

Absolutely Mike. I enjoyed showing you around. Kevin aka Tulsaboy came back out last week and we put him to work a little bit. They flew the B-25 last week for a Mx flight and everything went well. They're taking it to the Doolittle reunion next month. As for the rest of the Wixers, if you're coming through Mesa Az anytime in the future, send me a PM and I'll be glad to show you around.
