"The Memphis Belle is on its first national tour after going through a costly restoration at the Air Force base in Dayton."

I also emailed them and included the link for the restoration page on the Natl Museum of the USAF's webpage. IF I receive a response I will let you know what they say.

These are the same types to whom every handgun is a pistol and every rifle with a detachable magazine is an assault rifle. You know the old saying, “Never let facts get in the way of a good story”.

Mudge the factual
