Sunday Feb. 15th, four of us commuted to Sacramento to listen to a panel of P-38 Lightning Aces speak at the Aerospace Museum of Ca (previously known as the McClellan Museum). The event was put on by the Northern Calif. Friends of the American Fighter Aces Association and was another of the many panels they've put on over the years. Listening to these gentlemen talk about their experiences during WWII was quite a pleasure. The two hour moderated talk was well received and we were able to get items we brought or purchased there autographed.
