C-121 Constellation located in Aguadilla Puerto Rico

After reading Ken Coombs comments on the C-121 in the recent “View”, I could not agree more! I can’t afford a big sum, but I will put up the first $100. My first plane trip was on a Constellation.

Lori Mischke forwarded a message from our website. Pat Allen and his wife Ginger were going home to Ramey again.  After a few e-mails it was all set.

The RAFBHA had committed placing Flagpoles at the Museum facilities. (see “Flagpoles for the Museum” article). I’m delighted to report this project has now been accomplished.

We want to give our thanks, not only to all the RAFBHA Board Members, but to Gerry Giles (Board At Large), Jorge Gonzalez (Museum Associate Director) and a superb WASCO Team. With all these “boots on the ground” there was no doubt the project would end as a “Mission Accomplished”.
