Default American Fighter Aces Symposium

Those of you who are in Central Florida this coming weekend may be interested in the American Fighter Aces Symposium that will take place at Fantasy of Flight in Polk City. At least three WWII fighter pilots will be sharing their memories of their experiences in WWII. Here is a link to the flyer announcing the event.

DG will you be attending and taking pics to report back to us.... ?

hopeful someone will ask Don Bryan about his Ar 234 chases and his final jet kill........I'll tell ya he is an intriguing guy, had a several hour conversation years ago about just this. great memory the man has.

That's an excellent museum. Wish I could be there, but will be visiting the Nimitz and Texas Military Museums.

I wish I could go but I coach a basketball team and we have a tournament game in Orlando from 1 til 2 on Saturday. There is no way for me to get to the museum in time for even the end of the presentation.

I have sent a note to the people putting on the symposium and I hope that they will be doing another before too long.

I will be going to the Eisenhauer Museum in Kansas in a few weeks and will report back after that!
