Collings Foundation gets a lot
of credit (and money) from me.

Couple years ago, me, my son
and my Dad, a WW2 vet went up
in the 909.  Absolutely priceless.

I would have liked to see the radios
work and the little aux power
generator, too.  I realize that
I was probably the only one there
that cared.

Even if just one of the command
recievers was a BC band set with
an original set of earphones wired
up, it would be great for most
of us...

Still, these guys really made
a great experience possible
for us in my Dad's last days
and for that I am grateful.

I encourage everyone to check
them out.  There's a great 
experience there, a flight
or just watch a start-up, take off
and landing.  It's wonderful, and
let's face it... It won't go on
forever....

I've enjoyed this thread, thanks,
