 In 95, the grandson and I were scheduled to fly but he had
 his appendix out the night before... After the operation,
 his dad took his place.  Then in 1996, he and I got a flight
 together though the weather was very marginal.
 They have a nice program for riders. about 10 or 15 minutes
 each in left seat with pictures and such. If desired, time
 entered in log book.
 Aluminum Overcast was here last week. It got better tv and
 newspaper coverage this time and has a good load list for
 two days. Grandson and I went out again to just LOOK... The
 pilot was retired UAL captain, Verne Jobst. He is a director
 of the National Association of Flight Instructors. He started
 with Capitol Airlines and once flew with my old B-17, WW II
 copilot, Merle Black. It is a small world.
 He borrowed my WW II Bombardiers Information File so the EAA
 could have a copy. They are quite rare. Lots of PIFs but I have
 yet to see another copy of BIF around. It was not printed
 until March 1945. Lots of good WW II bomber information in
 it.
