A guy I worked with recently, grandfather was killed at that race a few years ago, he was flying a P-51..
I hated to miss it again this year but thanks for your post.
A man was walking down the street when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.
The man took out his wallet, extracted fifty dollars and asked, “If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of dinner?”
“No, I had to stop drinking years ago,” the homeless man replied.
“Will you spend this on flying airplanes instead of food?” the man asked.
“Are you NUTS!” replied the homeless man. “I haven’t flown in over 20 years!”
“Well,” said the man, “I’m not going to give you money. Instead, I’m going to take you home for a shower and a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.”
The homeless man was astounded. “Won’t your wife be furious with you for doing that?
The man replied, “That’s okay. It’s important for her to see what happens to a man after giving up drinking and flying!”
