Phew... I'd intended to put up a couple stories on the news page but fatigue and a pretty nasty bout with the dreaded insomnia over the past few days (too much excitement for the old man!)
I'm gonna have to let it go for tonight and get the "official" stuff up tomorrow.. although, I did manage to update rarebear.com with the announcement there.. (it's one heck of a lot easier to post sumptin on this board than publish a story!)
On to the other bit of news.. As most of you know, Roy Shoffner, the man who was behind the recovery of the immaculate and historic Glacier Girl P-38, has passed away.
The airplane "officially" changed hands on the evening of February 9th, 2007. Glacier Girl is now owned by Rod Lewis and has been added to his growing and quite wonderful collection of pristine historic warbirds.
I have to say, after meeting Rod Lewis and his family over that weekend, I can say with strong confidence, the airplane could not have a better home with a finer family!
Welcome to Air Racing Rod Lewis, family and friends, and congratulations on taking on the caretaking of this historic flying museum!
Thank god we have people of resources who just happen to love our precious aviation heritage!
