    Joe

    A Squire is a silk purse?

    Obviously you've never had the likes of Nidan1 or 37mm as Squires, have you?

    But beyond all that folderol, I AM BACK!!!

    Yes, I'm back from spending two days with the remaining warriors of the 390th Bomb Group (Heavy), and most especially sitting around, listening to my father reminisce with the surviving members of his crew, of the 568th Squadron's, "Chapel In The Sky", B17G.

    On the almost, maybe, kinda, lighter side, I heard how they were almost credited with shooting down a P-51 ("Well, hell! It was coming outta the sun... I thought it was a FW 190F!!!") To the serious, ("Remember the first ME 262 we saw?, "You mean, ALMOST saw! That thing streaked by so fast, I don't think he even had time to THINK about shooting!").

    It was a wild and wacky weekend, for sure. </font>

    You may all sing along...

    We're the Eagles, the West Coast Eagles

    And we're here to show you why

    We're the big birds, kings of the big game

    We're the Eagles, we're flying high

    We're flying high, we're flying high

    We're flying high

    You might as well memorise the words... we'll be back next year to do it all again.

    Noba.
