Gerry will never be replaced! By the way his 'A' is very close to completion. If things go according to plans you may see more 'A's out there very soon. The 3rd Annual Beck Memorial Fly-in is this weekend in Battle Lake MN.

I hate to hear about these accidents. :( While it sucks to lose yet another war bird, it sucks more to lose a life that can never be repalced.
