I reckon the news that Alan Brooks is wanting me to share with y'all is that Ol' 927 was given the Judges' Choice, Bomber Award.

Very well deserved by you and your crew, congratulations!

They even had a good turnout for Gary's talk on Thursday even though it continued to rain lightly. Here's the best photo I could get through a piece of weathered and rain-streaked plexiglass.

Well done Gary!

She looks fantastic! But I'm assuming there’s still a load of work to do. But the question is, will you be the one doing it? And if not, well then the next guy who does, better get a WIX account and report to us A.S.A.P.!

Can’t wait to see the installation of the bomb bay! :shock:

I know, a long way off, but great work none the less!



I'd exchange Tan or Camo any day!

Gary, your pic in the Dispatch is so great! I am so glad to see that you can revel in the glory of what you have accomplished. You have done a tremendous service to the warbird community and especially the CAF!! I have said before and will say again, please stay the course. We want to get FIFI back in the air and you can be the one who does it. I will personally commit my help as I am able.
