Friday, November 4, 2011:  Going Flyin'

We go to Fort Worth Meacham Field's Vintage Flying Museum...and meet our mounts:  two C-47s and a B-25.

They fly again!  Judd flies left-seat in the Southern Cross, Sackett flies right seat in Sky King, for about 1 hour, up to Frederick, Oklahoma.

Along the way, Sky King comes in for a close photo.  Near Frederick, the Southern Cross banks away.

Frederick, Oklahoma's WWII Aerial Demonstration Team (Jump School) welcomes us to their hangar, and we enjoy meeting everyone, lunch, and a special cake.

 Peters flies locally, then Goddin, Huston, and Soderland each fly left seat in the Southern Cross for a 30-minute leg, from takeoff through landing.

Golumb flies again, in Sky King.  Friday night at dinner, as Janet Goddin looks on, Norma Sackett presented Seth with an award, that all the men went in on, for being "The Greatest Historian of the Thirsty Thirteenth."

Saturday, November 5:  To be completed...
