This is for the Pearl Harbor survivors reunion on Dec 6, 7 at Fredericksburg where they are expecting many warbirds for static display and flyover on Dec 6th. The CenTex Wing is possibly going to take the Kate and P-39, as well at Billy Parker's replica Zero. The Yellow Rose Squadron will be having their Christmas Party at the Hangar Hotel that Saturday, as well. Hopefully the B-25 will be back in the air by then!

Cousin Ober is going to be running the ramp. He told me in Midland that it's looking like about 28 planes so far. I'll probably take the U-11 there and park it in a corner (since it wasn't even thought of in 1941), then help with the ramp. The Yellow Rose Squadron is having it's Christmas Party at the Hangar Hotel the evening of the 6th. Always a spirited game of Crud being played in the O'club. |
