I can almost feel the kapok seat cushion as my ass is trying to suck it up in fear while I (the pilot or crewman) is trying to keep the aircraft flying in a proper manner.

I don't really need recognition, but I would like to be known well enough that someone says, "Hey Lou, would you paint our wounded warriors..." or something like that. It just seems like I would be making a real contribution at that point.

As for the films... I've seen most of those. I'm betraying my advanced age (yet again) but I saw "The Blue Max" in a theatre, as a first-run film. I thank The Deity At Hand that I can't say the same for "12 o'clock High." Wait. Mebbe I CAN! (Just kidding... I was only four in 1949.) <b>;-)</b>Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-74038815280016401462013-02-06T16:57:51.858-07:002013-02-06T16:57:51.858-07:00The art was fantastic.
