Going to Arctic Thunder tomorrow (sunday) morning, will take flowers (and pictures of) to the memorial. Was wondering if you were going to be in the area Greens? Or stuck in your bush, heh.

Yeah, I know how the money situation is. The airshow was great, the missing man formation was especially moving.

A fitting tribute to the crew of Sitka 43  :salute
