Best of luck to you folks. Having the services of a helicopter is a huge asset!

Don't forget the bug spray! :shock:

Best of luck to the team and I look forward to following the recovery, restoration, and flight of this B-25.

I second the mosquito spray. My unit deployed to Eielson 15 years ago this week for Cope Thunder and the mosquitoes were horrendous out in the woods, even when I traveled to the Arctic Circle!

Good Luck Team Sandbar Mitchell!!

Good luck to the Sandbar Mitchell team! It has been fun following the project so far. Can't wait to see how the recovery and restoration progresses.

I spent some time with Patrick last August at our air show. Yes Patrick is an amazing person and he is very passionate about what he does. He has that fire in the belly get it done attitude that few possess. It is nice to know that young people like Pat are out there keeping our precious war birds flying.

Congratulations to the team. What a huge morale builder for the whole project.
Clearly this was well thought out and executed. Cheers :drinkers:

A huge debt of thanks to the heli-lift company. They deserve a serious shout out! :supz: :supz:
