Last time I talked to him he invited me to go flying in his Navion. He is now 80- I said I'd meet him at the airfield- I was thinking of taking his picture and having a coffee! Good Luck !!.Stasys On May 12, 2005, at 8:54 PM, Ted Grant wrote: > Hi Crew, > > A reminder to all who may or may not want to be on hand in Olympia, > Washington, USA > for my P51 Mustang fighter plane flight, 3 PM on May 27th!!! :-) The > flight is out of the Olympic Flight Museum. > > Hey this is a 76th birthday gift of a life time dream > happening!!!!!!!!! :-) I mean it isn't every day a guy get's to > actively make it to 76, let alone the opportunity to fly in a WW2 > fighter plane he's dreamed of doing since he was a kid. ;-) > > Yep time flies when yer having fun using a Leica and I'll have an M7 > with a 15mm lens around my neck for the flight, as there sure isn't > much to shoot inside a cockpit with anything longer. ;-) So this is an > opportunity for a sort of LUG meet and greet and some action to boot! > :-) > > I know there are some LUG members who committed to be there, Simon > Jessurun of Amsterdam has been trying to work around his 747 flight > schedule to be there, as well as some from the North West US.
