Please check out my first published article in the new July/August Warbirds International Magazine.

It is entitled “Never Forget, Never Give Up!” and tells my story of trying to save SNJ-2 BuNo 2549 which was assigned to Rear Admiral Aubrey Fitch as a “Blue Goose”. The story I discovered about the men associated with its crash and discovery were what inspired me.

I struggled for four years to make this dream come true and this article details what the NHHC did about it. While bureaucracy may have set me back, I still intend to see some form of BuNo 2549 back in the air someday.

I also have set up a website to follow its progress http://www.snj-2.com
and a Facebook page https://m.facebook.com/SNJ2BUNO2549/

Yeah, I saw the article - let's just say that some bureaucrats don't much deserve to be thanked for their "service".
