We would also like to meet as many PV-2 vets that might be around and get them inside our Harpoon and Hot Stuff and Attu Warrior. If we can fly a Harpoon vet we will try to do so. I will put a PV-2 pilot back in the cockpit if he is willing and able.

Please spread the word that we want to meet as many PV-2 crew as possible especially since we are going to have the only three flying Harpoons together at the same place. Lets make this a roundup of Harpoon vets if we can find any to come.

Please help us find them.

Thanks,
Taigh

Dan, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Wiliam Borst, radioman on PV-1s & PV-2s will be our guest during the gathering! My heart is still pounding! Can't wait to get him back in his old seat!

Well done! Keep up the good work! :drink3:

It seems like a real good gathering of Lockheed's finest coming together at Topeka.

Was checking on the aircraft planning to attend and noticed a H-250 under the Lockheed list and by looking up the "N" number and found it to be a Howard 250 with tricycle landing gear. It's getting better and better. Never seen one before.

Well they may have to rename it Gathering of Warbirds and Legends and Lockheeds.

Looking better and better every time I have a look at their website.
Let's hope all those aircraft will be there, tornado season will have ended, and the photo opportunities will be everything we've been dreaming of! :)

(Taigh: this also means that I'll be there, but perhaps your query related only to pilots and aircraft owners.)
