Thought maybe some here would like to see this. An outstanding job by some extremely talented, dedicated and ambitious fellas.
I'm very, very, very proud of these guys for all the hard work they put into this project. Wish I had it in me to accomplish such things and I also wish every other Air Group would be honored in such a way. Absolutely fantastic job and one that deserves a great amount of recognition for those being honored and those doing the honoring. Again great job guys and I look forward to November 11th.
A note: The USS Hornet museum allowed the guys to recreate an Avenger being lifted up to the flight deck for the movie using the Avenger on display. Very cool indeed.
