Fewer and fewer chances to give rides to WW II naval aviators. If you get a chance, do it while you still can. Don’t let it be a regret!

I’ve had the pleasure of giving several rides to veterans. We have a QB hanger party every June and we get the N out and Niel and I give rides. We have several WWII vets and it is hard to get some of them in and out of the cockpit but well worth it.
