Bill ... sorry for the delay ... the museum is open 9 to 5 every day, 7 days a week. .. cosed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years .. when I mentioned others, I meant some dignataries ... one of which was the Mayor of Dayton who happens to be a Democratic Super Delegate ...
Many of our volunteers are former military (all branches) and we do have some former AF Pilots. One I know of flew B-17's in WWII as well as some who flew Cargo planes. Also a number of former fighter pilots from various conflicts including the F-105.
Mustang Driver ... it was held in the Modern Flight Gallery and quite impressive .. you should have been here ... They moved the F-22 and one of the F-86's to flank the platform.
Pat Carry ... thanks for making my day with your "no comment" ... having been invited to serve by President Truman and proudly wearing the uniform of my country (over 50 years ago) in two foreign lands. it's great that we have the freedom to speak wether positive or negative. By the way, Lakhurst is still active. I lived in Monmouth County before moving to OH some 14 months ago.
The pictures came out pretty good for the first time with the new digital. I'll try to get some on here when I get a chance.
6trn4brn ... just a suit and tie ... no flight suit
and a final comment ... I'm sure I would have went even if Pres. Clinton had made a visit ... just to see all the hoopla that is involved in the visit of any US President made it interesting .... The Secret Service was once again at their best ....
