  • the smirk on that gentleman's face is absolutely priceless...we are eternally indebted to him and all veterans for their service.

  • wow it would be amazing to fly in that plane with them !

  • Nice!

  • This was great. I took physics in my senior year at Knox high School from Paul "Fuzzy" Harrington in 1957-58. He took us up for a flight one day and it was my first flight--I loved it and it was exciting to see the family farm from the air. Great teacher and a very good guy. Bob Pawlik

  • Great video Jon! It was like we were there and to see your dad "remember" the L-3 is very cool.
