Tony - Wow - extra cool My Grandfather was an early bird - OX5 Club and P-38 piggy-backer. I guess you could call me an airship nut - read as much as I can --- My uncle was US Navy, Lighter Than Air, NAS Santa Ana (recently de-commissioned MCAS Tustin), home of the largest wooden buildings in the world - floating in the really big blimps in the 50's. My grandmother was always worried about him - she had been among the many who flocked to the USS Shenandoah crash site in Ohio in 1925 when she was a young girl...We had some cool show-and-tell stuff as kids.
