I think it's some small town in upper New York. :)

I was just curious. Was talking to a guy who I've known for years from the local gas station and AHII came up. Turns out he played years ago for a few months. Got me wondering who else I may have run into.

Well, I'm just up the road a bit in Hopkins.

I actually got to talking to a guy I work with and found out he used to fly AH2 a few years ago, and other guy that appears to still frequent LW.

Post by: oboe on August 27, 2011, 09:16:43 AM: Shoreview here. CorkyJrs the best. Rebel hails from the south metro area I think. Met him and Yak at get together once at a flight-themed cafe down in Mendota Heights I think it was. As I recall, Yak brought his copy of America's Hundred Thousand and Rebel brought his little sister.
Might be fun to have another get together. The restaurant is still there though its name has changed - but it has a P-40 replica mounted on the signpole. Can't miss it!

Post by: ImADot on August 27, 2011, 03:08:53 PM: I'm headed up to the Brainerd Lakes arena for a week's vacation starting tomorrow. I wouldn't mind tossing down a cold one with some other Twin Cities locals before the big freeze hits. :cheers:

Post by: Rash on August 27, 2011, 03:56:07 PM: I've never been to Mn, but have been a life long Viking fan from the late 60's. I have a Fran Tarkington Rookie card and few others through his career in the NFL. I even have a #44 Chuck Foreman poster rolled up somewhere. I even dated a daughter of a Viking offensive lineman in my younger days. I was brave back then.

Sounds like you've been a long time suffering fan like myself :) Used to sit in the stands with my Dad at the old Met when the Vikes played outside. I think I could still give you the names and numbers of every guy on offense and defense from the 69 Vikings that were the first to break our hearts back against the Chiefs.
