Doc visits Tulsa

[Paulw]

There was a lull in the rain that we've been plagued with for the past three weeks. Kurt invited me to tag along with him to go and see Doc at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum this past Saturday. Sitting on the tarmac was also Millie G, an F4U-4 and a T-6. Kurt seemed to really enjoy himself but he wont let that be known to the general public.

Here are some pics.

I was wondering where you've been, Paul. Now I see.

Excellent photos Paul! Glad you got to get out there and see them. Looks like you could walk right up to them and take all kinds of detail pics as well. I'm surprised they had those aircraft flying into Tulsa with all the bad weather you guys have been having.

WOW, did we have a treat. A national treasure, B29 DOC, was in our home town. Three of us from Tulsa Modelers Forum, Paul, Casey and I went to the Tulsa Air and Space Museum who hosted DOC, a Corsair, P51 and a Texan. If you have not had a chance to see DOC let me tell you it is one impressive aircraft restoration. It is a beauty. That is not to say the other 3 aircraft were anything less than great. To experience the sound and smell, on start up, of those engines is something I won't forget for awhile.
Better than that, the 3 of us had a chance to chat about aircraft and modeling. During our 1.5 hour monthly club meetings we do not have time to talk one on one. FUN was had by all!
