It was a really sweet A/C as Kermit flew his at Breckenridge in 1988. What a sound it made, if you heard it, you would never forget it....

I can't wait until Bob gets his Mossie in the air!!!

I have no idea how soon that'll be, but I'll be anxiously waiting for the day.

It will certainly be a momentus occassion to have a Mosquito back in the air.
