[JAGNUTS] B17 Tour

[M.E. & E.A. Driver]

Hi Ray

Hope your  problems on the Jensen have been resolved.

As to your suggestion, I think it would be really neat to
see a vintage air show travel the country.  There are a great
series of aircraft that serviced the country from military
to the bush. I'm amazed that someone has not coordinated
something nation wide.

I was very disappointed with the cancellation of the show
at Portage La Prairie not only the loss of an opportunity to
see a B17 but also to spend time with a childhood friend,
who is ex -RCAF type to boot.  Mind you he and I did spend an
afternoon in the Manitoba Aviation Museum in  April.

Sunday was a great day for me I got to meet Bob England who
provided help with my web site, and the great group who
turned out for the  "wash and shrine" and tour to Regina
Beach - Luigi did a great job.  It was really neat to see a long
line of LBC  snaking through the Qu'Appelle valley ,and  then
taking center stage on the main street of Regina Beach.

Kind regards
Ed
