First I’d like to thank Larry Webster for giving up a Saturday and entertaining (and educating us) on some very interesting New England aviation history gone bad. It really sinks in how many young men gave their all training to go to the front lines. Looking back at my Navy days all my Air Wing’s aircraft looses were during training verse operations in the Persian Gulf, I guess something’s don’t change. After getting the tour of the countless and unidentifiable wrecks in his back yard we went to the Quonset Air museum for a guided tour. Work has started on the F6F that was recovered off the Mass Coast and work continues on several aircraft. It is clear that the staff are hard at work and doing a great job getting the aircraft back into display condition.

We then all ended the trip with a great meal at a local restaurant. Sorry the name escapes me right now but it was good food for a good price. The only catch was we had to take our shoes (or boots) off to sit down at the table. Kelly and I had a great time and can’t wait to get together again soon!

Tim,

Thanks for the webshots walkaround of the old XF15 Stringaree--one of my
favorite "might have been's."
