This column by Kent Ballard, which has been going around the internet lately, is the absolutely outstanding story of a WWII vet's fortuitous airshow visit. If you haven't read it before, I'd suggest keeping a box of Kleenex close at hand, because your nose might get to itchin' like mine did.

I saw this one via a friend's post on Facebook. I agree, it's an excellent read and well worth one's time. And yes, definitely have the tissues handy, or be prepared to tell everyone in the office you have severe allergies or a bad cold.

I passed this around our local airport gang and I have never had people emailing back to thank me for sending something like this. Yes, I too was crying like a baby reading this. I took a flight in a B-17 which is what my dad crewed in and I can only imagine what this gentlemen was feeling. Perhaps I too will get to go flying on my last day on earth...whenever that is.
Thanks for sending this!
