hey Tom P., i clicked on your link http://www.wendoverairbase.com/home [neat site] then i looked at http://wikimapia.org/ and zoomed in on wendover and saw some interesting stuff there, and was wondering. have you been to the V-1 rocket site, final assemably building for A bomb, and the loading pits for A bombs and pumpkin dummy bombs? and, can the public go to these places? thanks

yes, yes and yes!

until a few years ago when they cleaned out the pits at Tinian Wendover was the only place to see a real A-bomb pit. the JB-2 (V-1) site is pretty cool to - the original launch building and ramp all are there. Plus, we have a full scale "Little Boy" signed by many of the 509th in the museum.

Now if I could just find a B-29. . . .

i'll start looking for a B-29 for you also. uh-oh wait, they are all taken, sorry. i sure hope to get up there someday, thanks for the reply.

hey tom it just dawned on me, when they get FiFi flying maybe you can get them to stop by there [maybe on there way to some where else] for a big photo shoot, and some good P.R. for your museum. i mean they are going to fly it some where.

Didn't know the CAF had another N3N. Cool plane is it going to be at Airsho?

Obergrafeter - my bad - N2S - not a 3N

The one I am excited about is the corsair!

Tex-Fan - I'll dig out my old photos - FIFI and the then "Diamond Lil" did visit in 2001. They came for the 509th 56th reunion in Wendover - now that was a cool event!
