Chad, Toni was trying very diligently to get Indy to work out, but the last news that I had received, was that we were not going.....
Ok, just to change the direction just a little, I owe everyone an apology and an update of sorts. Family, work, well you know the drill...... So nothing earth shattering, but just wanting to add some photos to all the comments by Dave, Don, and Mike. I will kind of try to put a sequence to the pics........ That gear strut/wheel combo is rather large for a 1941 vintage bird.
B-24 Maintenance Officer Don Obreiter, with a none-to-happy look on his face.
Repairs in progress with Rick Garvis on the left and Jon Brawner on the right.
Next is a sequence with "Shorty" DeWitt (cap) and Dave Miller completing repairs and reinstalling the nose wheel.
When people ask you if the history of WWII continues to cross all lines and boundaries, I think this photo will answer that question....
So "Ol' 927" is on her gear and our squawk list is down to the last few items... We have a squadron meeting tonight (Wed, March 18th) and I will shoot a few more pics........ One of the guys that is driving force behind our DFW maintenance team is Mike Dillon. He and Brian Heeg have put in a great deal of time on "Ol' 927"..... Also special thanks to Tom, Jon, Mike, Bill, Jake, John Flynn, and Sam Stewart. Also to Rick Garvis, Dave, Don, Liz, and "Shorty"..... we could not have got it done! Lastly a big thanks to CFM. Doug, Steve, Daniel, Julian, and the rest of their team, you guys ROCK! ................ Mike Dillon (shown below) mugging for the camera..... I didn't know he could smile
