Yesterday, I only had one student so I decided to take advantage of the time granted to me, and headed to New Smyrna, FL (KEVB) to check out the heavies at American Aero Services. I must have been there at least an hour, and at the end walked away with nearly 100 photos, a dead cell phone (what I used to take the photos) and a American Aero Services T-shirt. Felt like I was a kid in a candy store, and would really love to go back, what a great crew. Here are a select few photos, and you can view the rest of the photos through the album. Really felt connected to my granddad who was a B-24 Pilot in India, then returned to the states to deliver B-17s.

Here's the free T-shirt I was given. I will wear it with pride.

Any chance you took more than one pic of the A-36?

It was a good idea, it just didn't work.

I didn't take any more of the A-36, but I can go back there if you want. Would be a great excuse to go back. They do sell the shirts but am not sure how much. I was there 'till closing time, the crew were sitting in the hangar waiting for me and a few others to finish, so I think they wanted to get out of there rather than take my cash for a shirt.
