| Greetings one and all,<br/>           We started a ground crew living history unit a couple years ago and it's really taken off.  We do an annual "bomb run" in May with the Collings foundation in Stockton California, unfortunately we use the B-24 and not the B-17, but maybe soon we can get her bomb releases to work.  We also do many local events here in Arizona and soon to do the Midland Odessa air show in October.  If anyone want's to stop by our display just look for all the canvas, tools and the white wooden bomb sign.  Thank you. <br/><br/>Msgt. Scott Dunkirk<br/> aka:  da' chief<br/> <br/> AZ ground crew living history unit Inc.<br/> <br/> "Yes sir, it's suppose to look like that".<br/> <br/> [http://www.arizonagroundcrew.org|www.arizonagroundcrew.org]<br/>

| Hi Scott,<br/> <br/> Well good on yer buddy you and your gang I'm ex RAF groundcrew myself, 26 years, and groundcrew the world over don't get the credit they deserve, especially in my opinion, from non veteran historical authors, kudos to you all.<br/> <br/> All the best<br/> <br/> Dale (aircraft electrician RAF) <br/><br/>improvise, adapt, overcome<br/>

| Well here are some more.  I know, it's a B-24 but the 17 doesn't have all the release mechanisms hooked up yet, so we can't drop bombs YET.<br/> <br/> Cheers<br/> <br/> Scott<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b12/cco23i/Maranaairshow2.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b12/cco23i/Maranaairshow2010059.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b12/cco23i/615boysworkinatnite.jpg' /><br/> <br/> Finally the follow me <br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b12/cco23i/followmemaranacruising.jpg' /> <br/><br/>Msgt.
