Holy Cow,
So I started this thread yesterday and got quite a few responses right away which was really cool, then the automatic "E-mail me when someone posts" thing stopped sending me stuff so I didn't pay attention to the thread. I just checked the thread and sheesh.... There are way more posts and way more young WIX'ers than I ever imagined.
Like someone also mentioned, I too had no idea of the ages of most of you guys and gals.
I'm really happy to see so many of us young people interested in warbirds. It is definitely something I know I will never get bored of.
The best thing of all is when I consider how proud all the warbird veterans would be to know that their triumphs, and sacrifices are not going to be forgotten when they pass. It appears that our generation will still have a strong admiration for the greatest generation and what they accomplished.
I also look forward to seeing many of you around on the airshow circuit in the coming years? Or Decades? Anyways, you'll probably see me in one of the CMF's little airplanes. And if I have my way, our soon to be acquired (but still looking for funding to buy it) PBY Canso.
Cheers and thanks to everyone to adding to the conversation.
