Title: Veterans Appreciation Day Cruise
Post by: Bob(Herbie) on August 15, 2010, 01:16:02 pm
Jack,
Check this website out for a possible cruise?  http://www.p47millville.org/  This Millville Army Airfield Museum gets bigger each year. I was talking to a couple of guys yesterday at the car show who volunteer there. They were telling me how the they now have four buildings full and a trainer building of memorabilia. The are in the process of restoring a duece and a half. They also have a mymymypit and partial fuselage of a plane. I can get info if you think it worth while. The Airport is only a couple miles from my place.
Cheers,
Bob "Herbie"

I have been flying into Millville since 1983 with our Ultralight club, great place to visit and
some of the guys have built planes using VW engines.
I "think" every one in the club would enjoy a visit.

My wife and I will be there! Should be a great time, I haven't eat in a Base Mess Hall since 1958.

Bud, Your right about the VW engines. We also had several Gyro-copters that were VW powered.
Jack,  My daughter participated in this event as a High School Junior in their History class. It was really cool for our family because my wife's uncle is a Vet and he attended the day's celebration. The History Class students dressed as and remained in character as WWII Military men and women. They even danced to Big Band songs. What a nice tribute and day! I hope this years event will be as nice.
Sincerely,
Bob "Herbie"
