Greetings all,
JRT, very impressive artwork. Both the Spit and the Texan are quite impressive likenesses. You are indeed the Renaissance man. More! More!

SNAFU, very exciting news regarding the Texan flight. I'm sure you will amaze not only yourself, but the crowd as well. Are you planning on buzzing the tower?
Last year for my Bday my sneaky family surprised me with a flight in a Harvard. I didn't know it until I arrived at the drome. (Can you say 'not very bright' boys and girls?) The cool part was flying alonside a Lancaster which just happened to be up that day.
Make sure you take photos and post them!
