Gents:

What Pappy has said about the VAC is true.  Ken Terry is the  Operations
Officer.  He is making every attempt to encourage the BOD to  waive the membership
requirement for the Air Show.

We both feel that once a War bird owner gets to Titusville, meets some of  
the people, and sees the operation at the museum; they may well join the  VAC.  
Like Pappy, I have been a member for many years.  The leadership  of the VAC
has changed, and a more positive attitude toward flying aircraft, as  opposed
to static planes in the museum.  

Ken hopes to have an answer soon as to inviting non-members to  participate.  
Put March 10-12th on your calendar, you will enjoy the people  and the show.  
As Pappy said the 9th is media day, however, we do not need  everyone there
to fly the press.  Some stay in Titusville motels, I usually  fly back to the
Creek at night.

If fact, Pappy gave me my first check ride at a VAC formation clinic when I  
was flying my scale P-51 which is now on display in the museum.  The plane,  
not Pappy!

My Best to All,
