I'm told I'm the first non-aviator in the bunch. C'mon, admit it, some of your best friends are non-aviators! ;) I guess all I can say in my own defense is that while I'm a non-flyer by trade, I'm with you all in spirit--bomber crew time (B-17, B-24, B-29, B-36, B-52) all run deep in the family. Near-sightedness condemned ME to ICBM crew... Anyway, blame my good friend THE CHUCK for letting me in, and my thanks to him for upholding the spirit of two small parallel pieces of old tape on a wooden door(A.K.A. Room 11) over these last 8 years! Cheers, and Happy Veracruz Victory Day Spiff It’s a pleasure to be invited and welcomed into such an august group! I’m told I’m the first non-aviator in the bunch.
