Colors??? "Moby the Plane" is supposed to be just pure white, from what my
friends and family say. Although I'm tempted to throw some blue & gray
stripes on there....

Hello all,
As I had some questions by John Tower(organizer get
together) and Dan Dominguez to show up with the
Dreamcatcher N2782B (around the world in 2000)I would
like to inform the Commandergroup.
I'm not able to show up myself, as planning time looks
now, I'm willing to offer, as owner, the Dreamcatcher
to be flown by Chris Wall and Dan Dominguez from my
place(28FL) to Kansas City for the get together on
24-26 september.
This offer I suggested already to Chris and Dan,
however no reaction yet.
Maybe this message works better?
Regards to all Commander Dream Alive Keepers,
Frits Abbing
