[CAP1]

just thought i'd pop a couple links of interest in for y'all.

milleville nj was one of the first homes of the jug.......

for those of you that live in flying distance, it's a cool airport to land at. they have good food there troo.....

there's a small muesum on the field, and a guy named tom duffey has quite a few of his own rides there, including a spit, a b-25, a corsair, and i think he still has his beech staggerwing......and i think he has a p-47 too.
 he used to hangar his planes at red lion airport till he got the b-25, which couldn't possibly be safely landed there, so he moved to millville.

 anyway,....hope yas enjoy.

still think the p-38 is better.

They have a great museum there.... It isn't too far from my legal mailing address, been there a couple of times.  Lot of history!!!

i've not been to the museum yet, but i've worked the airshow there a couple of times with cap. i've landed there on occasion too, one of which was a "precautionary" landing, as we had heard a "thump" in the airplane, just as the tach jumped. we were within easy glide distance, so we throttled back, and flew straight in.

 never did find out what the thump was.

we looked around the airplane, and couldn't find any evidence of a strike......when we got back to vay, we pulled it into the maintenance hangar, and looked again....couldn't find anything, so we just squawked it for them to look over
