Hangar Flying - HL 279 (4)

Subject: Building B-29s in WW II

Hello all,

Attached below is an article with photos of the Bell Bomber Plant in
Marietta, Georgia during WW II where they were making the B-29.

Now the Lockheed-Martin plant where they make C-130s.

A friend sent me this and that's all I know about it.

Dave

Dave please pass along to the e-mail list.

We would like to pass along a big "thank you" to all of you who attended the fly in this year. Katie and I really enjoy seeing everyone.  I would also like to thank you all for the generous donations left in the tip bucket. The money this year far exceeded our expenses for hosting the fly-in so we are donating the proceeds to the Poplar Grove Vintage Wings and Wheels Museums Curtiss Jenny Project.

Our museum here on the field, and our local EAA Chapter 1414 are teaming together to build a flying Curtiss JN-4D "Jenny". The museum will operate the aircraft as a piece of living history as part of their mission to bring history to our community.

I am a part of the build team, and think this is a worthwhile cause. We invite anybody who is interested, to visit the project and the museum. Check the museum website for hours of operation. Our build team is working Tuesday's and Thursday's 9 am to 3 pm, and Saturdays 9 am to 1 pm.  Feel free to stop in and view the project, and know you contributed to our eventual success.

Thanks again to all of you, and see you next year at Jim Watters,

Steve and Katie McGreevy

Hi Dave,
 The tee shirt Chuck was wearing can be ordered from Teespring.com.  I just go onto the internet and input the Never Underestimate an old man who is a pilot and it will pop up.  It comes in several colors and sizes.  So if you have a problem connecting to the site I could order one for you if you can tell me the color and size.

Thank you Linda.  Chuck's tee shirt at the fly in was right on!!!  I loved it and using your information I ordered myself one.  I can't wait to proudly wear it!!
If anyone else is interested the information below from Linda will connect you to where you can get one too.
Again, thank you Linda and thanks to all who helped make this year's fly in another great event.
David W. Skjerven
