A piece of concrete from the runway from Grafton-Underwood--- My Dad's unit- the 384th BG (H) flew out of there. Pedro Verde smuggled it over when my suitcase was approaching over-limits from my visit last Summer.
NOBODY tell!!! :axe:

I had been over-served the night before and I just couldn't stop laughing about the rabbit in front of some bank in Oddessa

Whazzup with the giraffes (or brontisauri) painted on the legs? Somebody besides me be trippin'!

Silly Wabbits & Rocks, Man I was trying to figure those out.
Hey Thanks for pics Spanner, that is a nice looking couple with you by the B-29.
I was at the "Wings Over Dixie" air show opps Great Georgia Air Show Saturday with no camera, but I can report all went well, even when problems arose. CAF done GOOD, & Hats Off to the AIR BOSS there keeping a show running good with no dead space!
I will make it to Midland one of these days!
Regards
Robbie
