Warbird Information Exchange

Anyone know the fellow who keeps this updated? I was really enjoying the reading and there hasn't been a new post in a month or so.

I tried to find the thread here about it, but I could not.

BTW, not sure why it switched my heading from "D*mn" to "darn." Evidently we have a sensitivity to language I was unaware of.

Yes, I know the fellow. Unfortunately and sadly he has passed away recently.

Oh no! Sorry to hear this.

The thread was pretty deep, the last post was back November 12th. Unfortunately he contracted 2 strains of flu which took him in a matter of a couple of weeks. RIP "Burl" Burlingame, his passing notice by the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum....

A real shame to hear that. Hope someone else can finish the transcription - I'd even be glad to help.

I'm wondering if the museum will continue posting Nolan's diary when things settle down? As I recall it was set up to run 5 years...'course that don't necessarily mean it's paid for for 5 years.

That is so sad. I sincerely hope that someone will keep the posts going.

Nolan seemed to be an outspoken character, with good values.

I was looking forward to hearing about his subsequent war service - not to mention if, or whether, he ended up with Diane.

An excellent story so far.

Fingers crossed.
