We are All Brits...

You guys okay? Our thoughts are with you and your countrymen...

we just get on with things. I had the inconvenience of having to walk a
couple of times on Thursday that's all.

Ah, that famous British "stiff upper lip"!

Glad to hear it.

Jay,

Thought you might be interested in one response from a British friend:
http://www.lnreview.co.uk/news/005167.php

Seems the British have a certain disdain for those with little minds
who feel that murdering innocents is appropriate behavior. I find
myself agreeing with the writer.

BTW, you going to be parking in your usual location at OSH? I'll be in
the same row as the last several years. Hope to see you.

Warmest regards,
Rick

Thanks for the link. Terrorists are the ultimate scoundrels.

Same here. If you've figured out how to reserve a specific campsite in
the North 40, please be sure to let me know how it's done!

Each year we've been parked in wildly different locations, even though
we always try to arrive the day before the convention begins. Last
year was the ultimate spot -- right next to the clear zone at the end
of Rwy 27 -- and I'd give almost anything to get it again!

You gonna be around for the rec.aviation party at our campsite on
Wednesday night? It should be a great chance to put some faces with
some names -- last year we had around 40 people show up for food and
drink!

A lot of us just get on with it. The link is to a photo taken at about
16.15Z. Today is National Commemoration Day celebrating 60 years since the
end of WW2.

There are a few hundred thousand people who packed the Mall for a flypast by
WW2 planes, including Catalina, DC-3s B25, B17 and of course a Spitfire,
Hurricane and a Lancaster bomber. Best sound in the world is the Merlin
engine.

All these people were not going to have the day spoilt by what happened on
Wednesday.

The terrorists win when you change what you do.

Especially four of them all going at once!

We had the Battle of Britain flight at the Isle of Man Festival of
Aviation a couple of years ago.

At Oshkosh a couple years ago, they had (I think) 17 P-51's lined up side by
side, and they all fired them up, all at once! WoW !!!!

Gathering of Mustangs and Legends
"The Final Round Up"
June 8-11th, 2006 Stead Field, Nevada

"In 1999 an unprecedented gathering of 65 P-51 Mustangs and 12 Mustang Aces
took place at Stallion 51 in Kissimmee, Florida. It was considered to be a
Once in a Lifetime event. The once in a lifetime event is about to happen
again in 2006! The Gathering of Mustangs and Legends: "The Final Round Up"
plans not only to repeat the grandeur of the last event but to exceed it
with a proposed 100 Mustangs in attendance and a 51 Plane Mustang Formation
along with countless Mustang pilots and aces from WWII and Korea. (click
here for more information)"


I would'n mind finding myself in Reno, Nevada next June.
