I was just scrolling through the main news articles on yahoo and was surprised to see a picture of an L-5 come up. Here's the article.

Nice article! Human Interest and History covered nicely! Don't see enough of that in the papers today.

I can honestly say that I know the feeling - except the plane wasn't the exact one but same make, and the pilot was from Okinawa. VERY neat!

Okay, dumbass question of the day from me - which airplane is the "other" L-5 that survived from that squadron? Maybe we can get him in that one too. :)
