Spiros, @fiveten
This has been a magnificent journey, and I have enjoyed following along with you as you built "MARS". In one way I'm sad that this one is done, as now we no longer have this subject to talk about... but on the other hand I'm very happy to see it completed, and I'm sure that you feel this way too. There will be other projects, so we can pick up there where we left off on this one.
Your work always looks magnificent, and this one is no exception. I want to personally thank you for taking the time to build this magnificent plane, one that was an unsung hero in Korea.
My Dad was a combat veteran who served his time in Korea, and he had the highest praise for all of the C-47 pilots... and also for those who flew ground support missions. Without these special breed of pilots, my Dad might not have survived, ...and I wouldn't be here either.
My hat's off to you sir ! Hand salute !
Please feel free to post an article of your C-47 at your convenience in the headlines section... Please include a tag of "Korea : The Forgotten War", so I can include it in our final recap which will happen about three years from now.
Thanks again my friend.
