Met Tom Friedman
Fri Mar 21, 2008 11:05 pm
Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting and shaking Tom Friedman's hand.
What a nice guy he is! We talked a lot about, what else? Warbirds, the WIX, etc. I saw his memorabilia collection, which to say the least, is very impressive.
Visited with him the Wakeman airport, and saw two or three derelict C-45s formerly with Ortner Bros., as well as a hangarful of civilian aircraft undergoing winter maintenance. Also at that airport, a Polish LiM something or another (equivalent to a MiG 15?) under a tarp, awaiting restoration.
Nice meeting you, Tom!
Saludos,
Tulio

It's a Lim-6bis (MiG-17).

tail cone right side:
The wings are stored on the other side of the airplane, and are covered by a large piece of canvas.
According to what Tom told me, the airplane belongs to a physician from Cleveland.
