Some bad news. I looked at pics of the outside display aircraft and they appear to most probably were just have been tied down. They appear to were just have been tied down? Try "They appear to have merely been tied down"--that is, no heroic measures such as being mounted on plyons. The poster could have been tired, or he could have been educated in an American public school in the past thirty years. (Actually, I seem to recall a Hornet? or two being pylon-mounted in a near-vertical climb at the museum.) As it does for Al (Old Hoodoo), this news breaks my heart, because after six years the Finnish Brewster Buffalo safely arrived at Pensacola barely four weeks ago. I hope it survived the blow and the rain all right, and I hope that the damage to the museum won't delay my chances of viewing the airplane into a seventh year! all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Expedition sailboat charters www.expeditionsail.com Hello Everyone: This is my very first post to a news group. (Please forgive any mistakes in posting.) I have been reading this group because I am an "airplane nut," a Blue Angels fan, and have great respect for the military. (Thank you to all of you who serve(d) our country.) I feel compelled to post now to express best wishes for the folks at NAS Pensacola and the NMNA as they recover from Hurricane Ivan damage. I first visited both when I attended the Blue Angels homecoming last November. I fell in love with Pensacola and even joined the museum. Like all of you, through Google searches, I am searching for information. I just read that the BA intend to perform at Salinas and Miramar. I called Miramar last Friday and a lady told me they have heard nothing about the possibility of the team cancelling. I am looking forward to attending the Miramar show next month. Also, an article says the BA are moving their base to New Orleans (I presume NAS JRB NO at Belle Chasse. I called NAS JRB NO to verify, but it was after 4:00, so no one answered.)I hope they can fly the New Orleans show scheduled for Oct. 23-24, because I plan to bring my 3 year old great nephew, who I am already training to love airplanes and the Blues. One must raise up these children right! Best wishes to all--Karen |
