Flying Father's Day Gift

[clipper1801]

I was lucky to grow up with a father who converted WWII bombers into fire bombers. Spent endless summers sliding down the wing roots of big Yeller airplanes, sitting in derelict belly turrets firing at the enemy, and grabbing a test flight or two in A-26's and PBY's. He just turned 75 so I made him a time capsule with some pictures and these 1/350" Avengers. I painted them up in his colors and numbers and made them a dirty as they were in my memory.







Thanks Dad! You taught me to build, fly, and soar! Clipper

Valuable memories, David.





By the way: Please give him him the advice, that these are not his daily pills.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

A very nice tribute Dave, and the story about you and your father in your formative years explains a lot about you and your Elves.
