What's this?

I got to fly on that very plane last year


For a WW2 buff, it was truly the experience of a lifetime. The Collins Foundation does really good work at keeping history alive and I will tell you that the flight gave me an even greater appreciation for the men who flew these mission in the most difficult of circumstances. They truly were the greatest generation.

Thoughts and prayers go out to all those that were affected.
