My neighbor passed away a few years ago. He was a PBJ pilot in VMB-413, and afterthe war he got a job in the aviation business, and somehow had a bunch of yokes and yoke centers. Growing up and more so later in life, we were pretty close, and after he passed, his family told me that he would have wanted me to have all of them. I have some pretty cool center caps as well. Original b-17, B-29, and B-24 ones. I have already given a complete set to the restorations of the Belle and Swoose.

That was nice of you (and him) to donate those to the Belle and Swoose...

Me too. This is my last post in the hangar until we see a pic...

(I hope I don't have to take this back!)
Disclaimer, I reserve the right to break silence for important items... such as L-bird discoveries and pictures, a free warbird being offered, or something that threatens our cause like LASP)
