Kevin, believe it or not we started to come over and see you atleast 3 different times, one time we even had you insight, then something would happen and we'd say Ok let's do that, then we'll go over. I plan on catching up with you this summer. I want to take a tour of the C-54. I have never been in it.

I stopped by twice and you weren't there, or you were up in the airplane giving tours. The C-54 sure dominated the ramp!

I almost got there one time, but the girl dressed as the Marines Dream nose art distracted me.

Here are some of mine,

First off the reason why I missed meeting up with Kevin
Image
Image

Then meeting 7 P-61 pilots and crew members
Image

Zachary and I meeting the Band of Brothers
Don Malarkey
Image
Image

"Buck" Compton
Image
Image
Image

"Babe" Hefron and Bill Gaurnere
Image
Image
Image

Doolittle Raiders R.E. Cole, and David Thatcher
Image
Image

The guys at my table for the dinner/foodfight
Image

Just some of the cool sights
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Cool L-5 painted to depict an L-5 that sunk a enemy ship with hand gernades.

Zach was sure that it was the real deal.

But we had a nice long talk. Ha Ha

Good shot of the 51s, Chris. Clean static shots like that are hard to get.

Thanks August. I got lucky with that shot. I took it while waiting in line to meet the Band of Brothers. While we are talking in line I just noticed that there was no one near the Mustangs and snapped off a few shots.

Great pics! I sure would like to go to this show someday.

Was the B-24 panel that Gary Velasco had on display Sweet Routine, or was it a different one?

Having all the the vets on hand to talk to and meet is one thing that makes Reading WW2 Weekend really standout. I do miss going to it
