I chair the 2nd Tactical Air Force Medium Bombers Association; I would like to connect with ‘Jon Pinckney’ re his grandfather’s WWII service (must have been with 98 Sqn RAF) and photo. Tried his website but “bandwidth exceeded”. I hope he’ll see this and contact me (david.poissant@sympatico.ca)

If I were to become a volunteer for you, could I park my Piper Cub on your ramp somewhere as I would want to commute via my Cub versus car from Sedro Woolley.

The lad was a passenger in a two-seat trainer. The pilot-in-command is retired Navy and a veteran of perhaps twenty Reno Air Races. Between the two of them, they figured out the T-6.

Had the pleasure of seeing your passage over the Port Angeles area yesterday afternoon. You looked great from the ground — sounded great, too, or I might not have looked up, but I heard you coming and knew it sure wasn’t the shuttle. Glad you had such a spectacular day for your flight! Come by anytime.
