What I want to swap trade is not legal in DC. A stove liner is though.
 
After all I had to go through to get the crews and Hooks and worst of all clearance for them to fly the missing man formation in D.C. airspace over Arlington for that funeral five months before 9/11 I don't even want to think about it. They kept saying no and it came down to telling them we were coming anyway.

i would think if those in the garden could hear em those 47's would have been music to their ears.

i still look back at the links you sent me bro,

i think the creed accepted by the Nightstalkers as their own fits this perfectly. comes from Isaiah 6:8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” methinks you would have fit in quite well in the TF bro


"Freighttrain!"

When those Hooks came in there were tears in a lot of eyes. The crews and those ships were in Iraq three years later.

With their new call sign resurrected after it had been retired in 1991. Me and one of our pilots went to Ft. Eustis to hand it off to them in a ceremony after the DOA approved it.

Freight Train

The guy with the poop eating grin and red tie is me.

This thread appears to be a bit off track.
 
Good thing I'm not a lobbyist.

DC brings out the pomp and circumstance!
:cool:

I think any red blooded American (and many others) cannot remain unaffected when seeing the power, glory and history of the USA enshrined in such place (monuments, cemeteries, etc. )......

Anyway, just confirming that we are still planning, as per the OP and this thread (which is where the official updates will be) - for Sat, Nov. 16 afternoon!

I will be that way this weekend, taking the kids to the National zoo and the Smithsonian, any idea on the exact place it will be held at? I could get some pics of it so people know where to go.

I believe its on the Mall.

The "Mall" is pretty long, guess one could just follow the smoke, but alas there will be none.

Just follow the heat!!
 
Yeah he could bring my evaluation grill with him. ;lol

Here is the location advice from John at forgreenheat
"Its on the Mall, right at the Smithsonian Metro stop, in front of the Whitten USDA building. Here is link: https://www.facebook.com/events/667753249920623/.
Ask folks to RSVP there as well. Not required, but helps to build interest as you can see who else is coming"
 
This event sounds fun but I don't think I will attend. Not much for big cities for anything other than work..
