From an email friend and fellow
Delta retiree. Made several years ago and may have been posted before, but
always a good reminder of who we are and what they did Joel Payne B767A [ret.]
A true story about 19 marines killed on an island (defending against the
Japanese). They had to retreat, so asked the islanders to please bury them for
us. Years later, they checked and found a man who had been a teenager then and
remembered where they were buried. They sent a C130 and an honor guard over
there and found all 19 had been buried with their helmets on, their rifles in
their hands, in perfect condition. The islanders had really done a wonderful
job. As they were loading the bodies, a voice from out of nowhere started
singing The Marine Hymn"..........gave everyone goose bumps. Turns out,
the voice was from a man who spoke no English but remembered a song the Marines
taught him when they landed. Very touching. They got all 19 and their photos
are at the end http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=C6f_FvZpm3g

Have you ever wanted to fly with the
Blue Angels? Now is your chance.
I thought you might take a safe ride
with the Blue Angels over the southern end of Lake Washington and Renton
airport in Washington state. The pilot is chewing gum and has some funny
facial expressions!
Footage courtesy of the U.S. Navy &
the Blue Angels
Ever wonder what "Pure
Awesome" looks like? Wonder No More.
This may be one of the best...
For Sure Go Full Screen....
This
footage is of the "slot man" in the Diamond formation...toughest
flying due to wingtip vortices, etc...when he "smiles", he is
pulling some serious positive/ negative "g" forces.
WOW!
What a ride! Notice the rest of the formation in the Pilot's reflective
goggles!

Their schedule shows that the newly restored Boeing B-29
Superfortress "Doc" will be at the 2017 EAA AirVenture at Wittman
Field, Oshkosh, Wisconsin in late July (barring mechanical problems, of
course).
Hopefully the CAF's B-29 "Fifi" will also be there,
although I can't seem to find its 2017 schedule.
Wouldn't that be a wonderful sight - TWO (2) B-29's flying
together.
