Spent a few hours at the Mighty Eighth this morning after breakfast. I met up with our active duty Air Force contingent so that they could be interviewed by the project public relations person, Dick Gorman. Dick will be writing a nice press release highlighting the participation of the Air Force team in the restoration project. You know, a feel good piece about current Air Force members honoring the legacy of the WWII generation of airmen by volunteering to keep thier great Flying Fortress alive for future generations to enjoy. Possible plan in the works to have them on WTOC with Bill Cathcart in the near future. Will need to run that past the Air Force I'm sure.
After the interview we went back down to the shop and the guys got right to work helping run some electrical wiring from a junction panel under the cockpit to some other area of the aircraft. I spent some time with Jerry McLaughlin discussing my upcoming move to Atlanta and my plan to continue involvement in the project and how to maintain continuity on the radio compartment portion of the project. Also spent some time with Gil who is planning to build a nice backboard of some type for us to display the ever growing number of QSL cards that we have during times that we are operating special events from the radio room.
