The Mellotron Group

Interesting. I've been into sailplanes and flying all my life as well. My  
Grandfather was the first pilot to ever land and take off from National 
Airport.  He kept College Park Airport open for many years when it was broke by 
his  generous donations and fund raising efforts. He was also one of the 
earliest  members of The Quiet Birdmen.

Hey Gary,
 
Here is my email _atm655@verizon.net_ (mailto:atm655@verizon.net)  sounds 
like we have  similiar interests other than the Mellotrons.
Fellas I'm doing this out of respect  for the main topic of this list.

I remember  talking to you about the sailplanes.  There is a Twin Comanche 
that  some collage kid keeps out at the airport.  His dad has quite a  
collection  
of aircraft  and I guess he get his pick.  The runway is a  little over 
3700  feet long and the foundation is heavily overbuilt as it was originally a  
training post  
for  Doolittle’s Raiders (B-25 Mitchell).  It also has a drag racing 
history  and every year we put on races in September.  We had Don “Big Daddy”  
Garlits   
as the  Grand Master a couple of years ago as he used to race there back in 
the 50’s  & 60’s.  It’s a small airport but lots of fun!

Gary,
 
I was flying solo in  sailplanes at 14, dad had a Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche 
_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_PA-30_Twin_Comanche_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_PA-30_Twin_Comanche)  which  we flew all over North 
America.
 

 
One of the few  advantage of being an only child. Nothing beats an open 
right seat except an  open left!
 
Good  times!
 
Tony

Hey  Tony, 
What did  you fly?  I’m in a flying club that we turned into a social club 
at  an airport a friend of mine owns.  We have one giant hangar dedicated  
to  
parties  and music.  We are putting in a good sound system and going to 
start  doing live music.  As far as the club goes it seems that most of the  
members  
who are  musicians seem to be bass players….oh well…..

Mine too, George C  Scott made the movie, at least for me.
 
The B-52 scene to  be specific. Something like "a big bird like a 52", I 
can't help it as a  former pilot and son of a WW2 P-51 pilot, we loved  it!

Dr.  Strangelove is my favorite movie of all time.  “I’ll get your  money,
