Very touching story. It made me  :cry several times.

 :salute

I'm also impressed how hard they put that PV-2 through her paces. Most of the time they baby those old girls through air shows, so it's impressive to hear them really give her a workout.

10000 characters per post I had to put it into several posts, start at the bottom and work your way up if you have it setup new posts first.

What a story had to share this one ~S~ TnDep

Amazing story - Thank you for writing it all out!

I wasn't chopping onions, I was sobbing like a baby.

As a man who loves his Dad, this story really hit home.

Thanks for posting it sir.
