Help us keep "SPOOKY" flying

Mon Aug 28, 2006 2:23 pm

We need everyone's help to survive, our AC-47 is in need of a new engine and because we have missed so many shows this year we have not been able to generate the cash flow to keep it flying. If anyone out there would consider Joining our museum or just a small donation you can do it by just going to our website (www.squadron14.com) and clicking on memberships or Donations and use PayPal.

Thank you,
Robert Rice

Robert,

I tried several times to make a donation via Paypal and I keep getting an error message that says my session has timed out?

Any suggestions?

Jpeters, please try again, I have checked on it and it seems to be working. Let me know if you still have any problems. Thanks, Robert

Robert,

I tried again via paypal and I keep getting the same error message after I hit the "Pay" key..."Your session has timed out please log in again". This is after I've already logged into Paypal so I'm wondering if there isn't something wrong on Paypal's end.

Otherwise can I just mail you a donation??

Is your Spooky listed in the registry? If not send me the info and some images and I'll make sure it gets in there. Also, send me a banner graphic and I'll replace the ad bar at the top of your entry with a link to your site.

Take care,

Question on Spooky.

I seen in the recent Stock Car magazine that I subscribe to, they had a gentlemen from Fergus Falls who raced cars, but was also a C-47 Pilot back in WWII.

Now the interested part is, the picture of the car, was taken right in front of Spooky. ( I assume it was her because of the nose art ).

It claimed in the article, that the plane ACTUALLY flew on D-Day over Normandy.

Any comments?

Paul, I not sure who you are talking about but our C-47 went to europe in August of 1944 missing D-Day by 2 months. I don't recall any pictures taken in this way but I would be interested to see apicture or the article on it.
