I would be worried about antipersonnel devices.  The Germans had antipersonnel stuff that looked like donkey droppings. A GI would kick one and get his foot blown off. I hadn't heard anymore about the gopher problem he had, but you can't be too careful.

What gopher problem?

When I worked at WhiteSettlement PD, which is on the west side of Fort Worth. We were next to General Dynamics and Carswell AFB. All kinds of military aircraft on a daily basis.

Ol'666 was "Bad to the Bone"! They made a movie loosely based on the plane in 1943, "Air Force".

Not bad for a clapped out old plane and a crew of screw-ups.  Well done, guys.

The skies over Chino are full of planes.  Got the old Northrup Flying Wing up yesterday, a whole damn flock of P-51s, a few early jets, a Zero, etc.

Andrews AFB has been having theirs this weekend also. The weather is good and the flying circus has been busy most of the day nearby here.

Planes of fame at Chino Airport (A WWII pilot training base) has a couple of weekends a year when they fly the birds that have been restored to airworthiness.  This is the big one for this year dedicated to The Greatest Generation.  There is Yanks Museum also at Chino.  Yanks is considered by many to be the best airplane museum anywhere.

Plan on at least two weekends.  One for the museums and one for watching the flying of stuff you didn't know still existed.

Maybe we can put together a GLB lunch between the weekends for you all.

If any of you are ever in northern Utah between Ogden and Layton on the I-15, stop by the Hill Field (Hill AFB) museum.  It's fairly new but has some stuff that you probably won't see elsewhere.

Lots of "junk" awaiting restoration (and well worth the visit alone) as well as some fine displays both indoors and out.  Nothing flying as far as I know...but I've been wrong before a time or two before.

Check it out.
