Good morning, Snippy and everyone at the Foxhole.
Our friends were traveling from Georgia to Illinois in a rented van. About halfway to their destination, their van was damaged when it hit a huge hole in the road. Other cars were disabled as well, and it was a rather chaotic scene. While our friends were sorting things out, a police officer offered to drop them off at a nearby McDonald's. When they got there, they sat in a booth to await word about getting the van fixed. Because of their dedication to serving others, they didn't have much money. Meanwhile, they had called to let us know about the difficulty, but there wasn't much we could do except pray and trust that God would watch over them. As they and their children sat in the booth, a man came over with bags of burgers and fries. "God told me I should give you some food," he explained as he delivered supper for the hungry family. How many times have we seen God send help on the way? On the flip side, how many times have we felt the urge to help someone-and balked at the notion? We are God's hands on earth-created both to receive help and to give it. Do you know someone who needs help on the way? -Dave Branon

I'm starting a Military/Veteran's Affairs ping list. FReep mail me if you want ON/OFF the list.
Good morning going to be another beautiful day here.
'Ow about a couple of Firefly pics, eh mateys
Next Up the A-26 and P-51
P-82 is next up, while the P-82 does resemble a pair of P-51's flying in real close formation the resemblence is only superficial. The P-82 was about 80% new design IIRC. The only parts of the P-82 and the P-51 that were interchangeable were the engines and thier mounts.
Last one for now is the incomprable Douglas Skyraider with a Corsiar in the background. HEH
Thats all for now, will post some Jet pics later in the day.

Morning Snippy.
Thank you so much for today's thread . . . you've inspired me to get started on a future Foxhole about my Dad.
The next day, The 51st Provisional Squadron reverted to its original designation of 12th Fighter-Bomber Squadron and joined its sister unit, the 67th, in attacking North Korean ground targets.
This was the Figher-Bomber Squadron that my Dad served in during his Korean tour. I dug up some old files and found the April-July 1981 edition of of AIR Enthusiast Fifteen with a feature article called "Mustangs in Korea". The following is verbatim from this article . . .
I also reread Dad's Eulogy wherein it stated that these pilots fought against tremendous odds, went without food and sleep, endured the bitter cold of winter, while flying several combat missions a day to keep an American foothold on the Korean peninsula.
Thanks again for today's thread and trust that I will continue pursue a Foxhole thread about my Dad. :^)
