Well, today I did my first newspaper interview since I'm helping my local stop coorindator on the Collings bomber tour. I feel the interview went rather well and the reporter was very enthused about the upcoming visit of the bombers. I also plugged WIX as he asked me how I know so much about warbirds. However, when he first arrived he thought he would be talking to a veteran and was surprised to find a 20 year old so interested in WWII and history.

Mike,
when they print the story, let us know if it was anything like you told them. I have been interviewed several times, and when I read the story I wondered if I was even there. very little matched the actual events.
