    Col. Cole has now seen this so I feel that I can post it. He is now 101 years old.

    Bob- May be too big. Try lowering the resolution and see if it works. The system will resize images for you, but there are limits to what it can do.

    I reduced it to 5MB so maybe I'll go smaller to see if it works. Thanks.

    Bob- You got it. Looks great. Cole will be very happy to see that one when he was very young.

    Army Air Force copyright is a nice touch.

    Thanks, Taz. So many people tell me that I have too many "A"s in the reference. I signed up in the USAC, went active in the USAAF and soon after my discharge, it became the USAF.

    Bob- Even most folks in the AAF did not realize they were not in the AAC after 20 June 1941.

    Thanks, Taz. I see now that I should have written USAAC...US Army Air Corps. So long ago.

    I don't know how I got on AvChat but you can't do it by clicking on AvChat in bookmarks or any other normal way. What is going on?

    Bob- My normal bookmark into FChat failed a couple of days ago, too, and I had to make a new bookmark.

    Bob- Very nice, I like it. Very brave when most of them must have realized they were on a one way trip from that far away. Nasty day typical of the North Pacific.
