Thanks for the heads-up.  Forwarded it to my daughter, who lives down that way.

Flats, love your Avatar.

Do you have a history with Grumman's A-6?

My uncle was a BN and took that photo of the wingman as they dropped through cloud in southeast Asia. I think it was 1972 but will check it out when I can. Do you have a connection as well?

My dad is retired Navy and served with VA-65, VA-34 and VA-85 over 20 years 71-91.

Also, I just read that the fly-in at Dulles is happening TODAY, because of weather tomorrow. <S>

where did you see the fly in was moved? I will check with Ed we may have overlap on the squadrons your Dad was in.
