    Lightbulb Williamburg Mmuster 2017

    There have been some changes in next years Williamsburg Muster. The date has been changed to Memorial Day weekend and a new location. They have combined WM and GOA into one con. The new location is the Hilton Doubletree in Williamsburg, not far from this years GOA site.

    Checked the Muster web site and they still say Feb for the date. However, MOG site has the date for May. Have to see what the wife wants to do.

    I checked out their site and not updated yet. I talked with Jim (Cotton Jim) and another dealer about the convention so I received a good update. I did notice that the cost went up to $35 but have been told that the hotel is really good. Have to make reservations for the Warbirds show and then this next weekend. A little travel over that week but well worth it to see good friends.

    Ah! Another memory Rich. I am determined to get back to Williamsburg one of these fine days, if Mr Trump will grant me a Visa that is. Some of my ancestors were Normans.
    I hope you all have a great show in August.

    A safe trip here and visiting with old and new friends. Both games went well. Last nights early 1943 themed bomber mission left the Germans chased from the sky and looking for better armed planes. This morning game set in 1944 saw much better equipped German planes, the skill of bomber gunners and allied fighter pilots canceled them out. WW1 this afternoon Stuart an JJ. Photos latter.

    Stuart and JJ ran a great WW1 game. They were perfect hosts, they let me shot down a bomber!

    Thank you, Colonel!

    Those Gothas are fearsome critters, especially with one of the dreaded "She Devil" pilots at the controls: I believe it's only the second it's ever been shot down! Excellent flying skills, both in herding the beast away from the bomb run and sending it down in flames as it circled for another attackClick image for larger version.

    I trust you managed to retrieve a fabric panel or propeller to display in the Officer's Mess bar as we wet down our newly minted convention medals - hint, hint

    Roger that, flight leader. I have your six!

    The ones on my phone are are a problem though because stupid, sucky Android won't let you download them, only email the darned things!

    Sometimes the CO needs to get back in the saddle and earn his flight pay - he sure hasn't lost any of his flying skills though!
