It just dawned on me that I never saw Glacier Girl -- the P-38 that was retrieved from beneath the ice in Greenland and fully restored -- at Oshkosh. Anyone know what happened? I was really looking forward to seeing her! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com

I'm watching a much anticipated VFR flight between PWM and CLE dissolve in this horrible weather. I'm still holding out a slim hope for Monday and Tuesday but I'm not getting as clear a picture of what to expect from the prog charts as I can from the bigger and more regular systems. I've got to...
