Greetings, Ford!
  On 29 Apr 98, Ford Tolbert entered the following ASCII codes for the 
express viewing pleasure of Bill Wunsch:
 FT>
 FT> Was given the task of going into the Sea of Japan looking for a downed
 FT> air crew,
Now, that's the kind of stories I like to hear!
 FT>  Believe me, a B-29 was armed back then.
I used to read a lot about airplanes way back when.  One little booklet that 
I had (probably is still around here, if I sort through all the junk - pardon 
me, all my valuble property) described the design of the B-29 in detail.  I 
found the description of the control system, and the gun control systems very 
interesting.
 FT>
 FT>    That Lancaster was a biggg old bawx in my book, not like some of the
 FT>    pretty A/C that the war produced. Wasn't the snarl of a Merlin
 FT>    engine music to the ears?
A few years ago, the Regina Flying Club managed to get a restored Lanc here 
for open house day.  I managed to get a day pass and timed it right to be out 
at the airport when it departed.  It did sound real pretty doing a fly past.
