Thought I would finally drop in a say hi. Retired U.S. Navy Senior Chief. Have an intense love for all things aviation. Even got my pilots license before my driver's license. Been nosing around for awhile and decided I should just go ahead and join. It looks like you need more "squids" around here anyway.
Have had an interest in World War II aviation ever since I can remember. Grew up next to a small airport in southern California where my grandfather had kept his plane. I posted some pictures of my "playground" back in 196..hack, hack. I was amazed when I found them while doing some online research. My long suffering wife thought I was having a fit of some sort as I was trying to get her attention. The place doesn't exist anymore and I had always talked about it, but she had never seen it. The airport is now John Wayne Airport in Orange County, Ca. This was back before even Hughes Air West flew out of there. Some of my fondest memories are flying with my late grandfather when I was a kid.
Anyway, it looks like you guys have a pretty squared away site here. Looking forward to some conversation and research.
Take care,
C2
