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

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!

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.

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 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, but you’ll have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company” Keenan Wynn.

And saw both in the theatre.

Good stuff!
