A BIT OF HISTORY,

The last of the ENOLA GAY crew has gone west. For years the surviving crew was the main attraction at WW11 weekend held at READING PA. They will be missed. It was in the nineteen forties when PAUL TIBBETS in a B17 transported (DUTCH) VANKIRK to his home at NORTHUMBERLAND PA.They landed on a grass strip located on PACKER ISLAND which is now SUNBURY  (71N). So it was fitting to honor  MR. VANKIRK with a flyover at the time of his interment with the movie B17 MEMPHIS BELLE followed by a landing at the spot of his previous homecoming. I was fortunate  to witness this event by landing my 701 prior to the arrival of the movie MEMPHIS BELLE. As you will see I was not the main attraction at this event but I must say my little 701 carried me there and home in style. I am attaching a link to  share what I saw.http://vimeo.com/102824609
