Good time today.  Great seeing Robert and his wife, Jim, and some of the Phantom Society friends, Steve E. and Paul.   

Remember that the Pubic Relations wants your photos.  Are you guys putting a watermark or something?

Good seeing Damon & Jim, It was a great event

I am thinking of putting a disk together for them. Got to go through the 600 or so shots to see what I got.

Watermarking is always good

Do you know the name of Tuskegee Airmen in your picture?

No do you?

[TrueblueF-18Girl]

No, I don't know the name either. When I saw the picture of him it reminding me of Holloman. I was at Chino on Saturday when I heard about Bill Holloman passing by Ed Maloney the founder of the Planes of Fame Air Museum.  I enjoy my brief time I had with Holloman he was a wonderful man. He will be miss by all.
