Guys,
Thanks for the kind words. It's the least I can do, as well as my entire crew here.
Unfortunately they have not caught the individuals. That's all I can comment on at this time. Believe me when I say its a big deal right now in the community!
I would like to extend a special thanks to my Formation team. We have 2 aircraft currently down for annual and they have stepped up to double time to return two of the aircraft to the air this weekend. With that being said on Monday I will lead our flight for a missing man flyover for Mr Holdermans' service.
Mrs Holderman and her entire family has been invited to a private tour of our shop to see the Dauntless. They have already accepted.
Now for the WIX crowd, you saw in the article/TV report my wife and I are sponsoring a bronze plaque that will be permanently displayed with other fallen veterans plaques at the El Dorado County Veterans Monument in Placerville Ca. I am also having a granite stone etched with a Dauntless that will be at the front entrance of the memorial. With that being said I would like to ask for a little WIX'r help here. I would like to find a really good, semi close up, of a Dauntless with the rear gunners hood open and a gunner holding the Twin .30's. Please email me a decent resolution pic and the person who submits the picture I choose to use will get a TShirt from VRA. What TShirt you ask?,... That's the next big surprise here(a really really big deal!).
In the mean time here's a fairly recent pic.... It may not look like it but it's real close!!

Thanks everyone,
Chuck and the entire
