Ernie was the main announcer for the activites and he provided commentary on the air battles being recreated.

That "Ghost Squadron" song he wrote and recorded makes the hair on my arms stand up when I hear it.

Nothin like a good aircraft and a song to lift up the spirit, like Into the Wild Blue Yonder. B-17's

Leo, I have joined the CAF B24/B29 Squadron. That means I get to hang out with "FIFI" and the plane formally known as "Diamond LiL".

Leo Tanner · November 03, 2009, 06:03:25 PM

I envy you Pop. If I could take Lil ta see that plane in person it would be a great day.

"FIFI" is having a complete overhaul at the HQ in Midland, Tx. The B24 is at the Addison airport, which is about an hour east of where I live.

I live in the flightline of Fairchild AFB, it's a C-135 hang out and when those B-52's headed fer Hawaii flew over my house, well I felt so good I wanted to salute them.
It's the sound of freedom

Tex, I think we have found a brother.

MontanaSlick · November 03, 2009, 10:56:41 PM

LT, did we loose one somewhere?

Some of us here are just big WWII aviation buffs. You seem to fit right in.
My uncle Joe was a tailgunner on a B17 and I still have his dog tags.

Leo, I met Montana Slick a couple of years ago on the Sass wire. He is a Masonic Brother of mine. He is a cousin of Casey Tibbs, who was a famous Bronc rider of the 50's. He knows both of Yakima Canutt's sons. Slick is an old Army DI. He trained troops down at Fort Polk in Louisana in his younger days.

I'm sure that there will be more speculation about her disappearence since the new movie about her is playing at the movies. It has always been an interesting read for me.

Arcey · November 04, 2009, 11:51:39 AM

Kinda like true mysteries. Fiction, movies 'n such do nothin' for me. Maybe we'll see sumthin' real on the Earhart case before we croak.

Got tied up messin' with the Carroll Deerin' 'n Mary Celeste the other e'enin' 'n stayed up half the night.

Lunch is done. Back ta werk. Damn. Real pretty day ta be outside.

Texas Lawdog · November 04, 2009, 12:05:25 PM

I hoping to get around to going to the movies to watch that new Amelia movie. If not, I guess I'll watch it on Netflix. It's noon now and Victoria hasn't fixed me anything for lunch. It looks like I may have to fend for myself.

Did any of you in LE ever have a psycic on a case? I've been seeing that a lot of departments are starting to use them. Just curious.

We didn't go lookin' for 'em. Occasionally one would call or come to the office onna high profile case 'n we'd take the time to listen to 'em. Don't remember gettin' anythin' useful from 'em tho.

When there's a missin' kid ya don't poo-poo anythin' 'til ya check it out.

From what I can tell 10 percent of em er either real er real lucky at guessin. The other 90 percent er full of s***. I'm prolly bein generous with those numbers. My ex wife took both my daughters ta one of em an bought inta every thing the lady said. Changed their lives an routines based on this "reading". I'd like ta slap some sense inta all four of em, but that would prolly fufill some prophecy er somethin.
