[SADXA] Gonna take a sentimental journey

I know there are a lot of airplane buffs in the club so this might be of interest.

Sometime around 1940 or early 1941 my parents left Tucson and moved to San 
Diego, where I was born just before the outbreak of WWII. My dad had a job as a 
machinist at Consolidated Aircraft Co, the designer/builder of the B-24 bomber. 
At the conclusion of the war, the job was gone and we moved back to Tucson, 
where I have lived since then.

Barring unforeseen events, tomorrow Annette and I will fly in the last airworthy 
B-24. Although my dad did learn to fly light planes in 1946 at the Benson 
airport, I'm pretty sure he never got to fly in one of the planes like he helped 
build. (This one was actually built in Ft. Worth)

Sorry, no /AM operation planned.
