@kirkconway

Hi Valcan,

Its kirk ,

ok I kust called the evergreen museum,

and told them what happened, and to put a word in to the docent's

or whoever it was that to treat people better from far away, and to be there as long as you want to aswer questions or just be attentive ok.

mannn if i saw that guy i take him outside and grab him by the neck and deck him right there.

you dont treat people like that,

treat people like you special after you came all that way to the museum.

@kirkconway

Kirk.

@kirkconway

Hi Valcan

'Its me again

and went so far to see them. I admire that alot.

kirk.

@valcan321

Hi Valcan. Kirk here.

I like the Mustang too, I like the early one's like the b,, and C model's ,,, razorback type.

people brag too much on the P-51 like it was better than other planes.not so.

planes in diferent theaters had good and bad fault's.

Junker's 52's were neat too. good overall transport.

basic and well built.

B-25's and both 26's,, Martin, and Douglas were really good too.

29's were nice, but complex..

[kirkconway]

@kirkconway Hi Valcan, Kirk again, I like certain german planes too. focke wulf 190, and dora was something else remember the twin engine Dornier Do 335 Arrow, or (Phiel in Deutch). that thing was really something. if it was finished earlier? it would of been a bad threat to the british and the russians. Im calling the evergreen museum and tell them about the thing that happened when you were there. Ill get some answer's ok. im here if you wanna keep in touch ok Kirk.

[kirkconway]

@kirkconway Hi Valcan it's me again. Id tell the people at the evergreen museum to get some people that care about visitor's, and will treat them with kindness and respect, and get rid of these crass spinless one's that dont care, and are rude to visitor's. to be with you as long as you want and show you stuff up close. after you came so far to see a certain plane. rude behavior to vistors is inexcusable. and should'nt be tolerated.

@IIJG27Rich

hi valcan

mannn id be the same way as you id be kinda ticked off if someone did that to me

and acted like it was nothing.

get rid of these wimpy people that have no spine and get some people that are personable and CARE ABOUT VISITORS TO THE MUSEUM

I would have walked over to the G-10 opened the canopy and say go ahead climb in and see what you think?

thats what you treat visitors like that have come a long way to see a plane they liked.
