Hard to believe they were so young.  As young men they saved the world.  They grew up faster then they expected and it was not all good.

I suppose Beefcake will be through here soon enough looking for pilots to man his group, but until then you guys can get a load of this Zeno's Drive in Video, " How to Fly the North American B-25 Mitchell". It will show you everything you need to know to kick Gerry square in the pants.  :aok

Hey...

There are suppose to be some Arabian Knights walking through here pretty soon. Please direct them to the P-40Fs way down at the other end of the airfield.  :D

We are having engraved invitations made up for those lucky enough to consider spending 12 hours with the 33rd Fighter Group on 'THE' day.

We will also offer the Queen's shilling, some Lira, Marks, Francs, Wintery Mint vape fluid, and a comfy cushion to sit on.

Some of the lucky 8 might also be Arabian Knights, so we'll have to lay out great lashings of Maker's Mark, a mountain of baked beans, cheezy poofs, and a fine creamy brown ale for the last hour.

Recruiting begins today.

I understand that Lt. Col. Brooke has received his orders and is in transit to Casablanca as we speak. He's bringing a good number of pilots with him flying over the South Atlantic to Ghana then up to Morocco.



So for you guys that are having your bombers assembled at the depot and have to wait to me up with Brooke, here is a nice instructional video for you to watch from Zeno's Drive-In.
"Flight Characteristics of the A-20"

Enjoy!

Major Raider,

Good to see you sir. As always, thanks for the qwippy puns.  :D

Make that a nice Norwegian Pillsner and its a deal.  :aok

Get your AKs in here!

I have selected a great training video for the fellas to view while their aircraft are being assembled at the depot.
