Hey Frets,

Yea the Cooperage is still there and going strong, although the last time I was there was a few years ago for some friends retirement party.

I think you should build your Grandfathers 27, a wingman with #11 on it.  If you need it I'll make you a good deal on a Royal P51 kit.

Anyway, great story!  You mentioned military service earlier,  did you become an AF pilot also?
