Did anyone get any, other than the nice pics Sabremech took?
Did you all get a chance to meet Col. Halvorsen? He had a great time, although the 12 day trip (Including Selfridge) was at times rough on him.

I also hope you all got to tour the interior of the "Spirit of Freedom". I know the exterior paint (only 2 years old) is not holding up well, but I hope that did not dissuade anyone from coming aboard.

Anyway, thats all I have for now!

Kevin,
Neil Kroboth, the guy who restored my L-5 and co-pilot to KOSH, was at Jim Ott's on the night you stopped by. He really enjoyed meeting you guys and COL Halvorsen. Pass his regards on to him when you get a chance. Sorry I didn't meet you then but I was at a fish boil with the 14th Liaison Squadron.

I didn't get any photos(need a longer lens), but I know my dad got it on video. I'll try to find some time to get it transfered in the next couple of days and see if he minds if I post it.

That would be fantastic!

Thanks, Dan!

If you are successful, I'd like to put it on our website at www.spiritoffreedom.org
