Ober,
If, I was permitted to do so, what time would an aircraft need to arrive by on Monday to participate? Missed you at the secret owners entrance today. Was up there in the Cub and am not qualified to fly the new LSA up there.

Ryan I am just a worker bee. You need to contact the Nimitz folks for that. I think we are having a 9:00 a.m. brief.

Ober,

What kind of heavyweights might be expected? Last year was pretty special and I'd love to be there again.

We are still a week out. My dance moves are good, but not that good.

Rod Lewis is sending "something"! The mystery is better than whatevere he sends! Maybe something we ain't seen before. Hope so. The C-47 has invasion stripes is that the one? Runs with Pacific Prowler? Rays bringing the P-40 of course, I hope nobody takes pics and posts them here, I don't wanna hear the bitching about the color.

A P-40 for a Pearl Harbor commemoration is a P-40 and I agree with Ober. Besides, at 500' when it's flying it's beautiful. 'Nough said.
I don't think I'm going to be able to make it this year. :( Have too much work to do and reason to want to earn the money.
