Title: May '14 KOTH Dates
Post by: fuzeman on April 30, 2014, 04:49:23 PM
May's Friday KOTH will be 16 May 2014 in SEA2 starting at 5pm ET with the Ki-43-II being our first ride.
Stop in and see what fuzeman forgot after a few months and have a few laughs, with me or at my expense.
Either way join us for some dogfighting fun.

Fuzeman is standing in for me for May and possibly June, do to my health. I will still try to attend to make sure it is smooth sailing.

Made it back from Geneseo and a quick reminder KOTH is tomorrow.

Will go down on the 3rd June and see the public ceremony / fly past.   They think they could get up to 8 C47's to take off together on June 4th where they will go to the continent.

I guess Whiskey-7 will be in the D-Day Anniversary thing at IWM DUXFORD on 24, 25 May 2014 as one of the C-47A Skytrains they list is from The National Warplane Museum in Geneseo.
Then again I see one is from 'Aces High'

Scheduled Liberty Jump Team Drops from Whiskey 7 in Normandy.
June 4 Angoville Au Plain - 6PM
June 5 Amfreville - 6PM
June 7 Graignes - 4:30PM
June 8 La Fiere - 3PM

Whiskey-7 was a lead ship in the second wave of the drops on D-Day.

Looks nice, thanks.
She made it home this weekend but I didn't keep up on her return and missed it.
