Guppy, Grimm and those that know Earl.

Trying to put something together for a framed Hi-rez screenshot that Grimm can give him after the con. Fiddlin tonight and put somethin together along the lines of Guppys picture. It's in the works, lotsa tweeks left to do, input welcome.

Somethin that means something from us flightsim WWII buff geeks. Let him know where he is held.

Love to just sit down, have a few with him and talk..

Did that with a WWII pilot once, I'll always remember it.

Enough mush..

Looks great nopoop

I was just down at Earl's a few weeks ago with my wife. Had a great time as he and Mrs. Earl are wonderful hosts.

He's always been willing to answer questions and share information with all us flight simmers going back to the AW days when he was flying more.

I'm sure he'll be very appreciative of what you are doing.

Thanks a million for doing this.

Image is Earl leading a flight of Jugs out of Selfridge Airfield after returning home after two years plus overseas in 1945.

I posted this thread in the illusive BW for Earl to see. I hope he doesn't mind me reposting his reply.

Earl's reply:

That is amazing! I just can't imagine what skills it takes to do
something like that from scratch - or whatever. Course, you
computer people have always amazed me and continue to do so.

A small suggestion: Is there a way to trade the Wal-Mart prop
for a Hamilton Standard?

For those you who haven't met Earl you can go to his web site at.
