Default World War II Bomber Pilot Flies the Kiwi

Hey Jay,
Jump over to rec.aviation.owning.
There's a post over there by a guy that has received gifts as appreciation
for what he's contributed to that and other news-groups as well as to
general aviation. He seems amazed by this, but I think it pales in
comparison to what he gives to guys like Grandpa. Although some of us try,
many of us simply do not have the opportunities to give back as much as we
would like, so we try to support those who do.

Thanks for making Grandpa's day and for rekindling some of his memories of
long ago. I pray that some day, many years from now, there will be someone
that will do the same for my old bones.

Jim
