George has the honor of being the youngest person to have finished Navy flight school. Before he came along, I had that honor. I finished Flight school in Corpus Cristi, Tex on September 8, 1943, at the ripe old age of 19. My Piet is almost finished. As soon as I figure how to run the throttle and mixture control lines and do it, I'll cover the fuselage, paint it, install the metal fire wall, and put it all together. The wing panels and tail surfaces (the tail surfaces and ailerons still need paint) are ready to be bolted on. I'll send some pictures if anyone is interested.

I am in San Antonio and will be unable to work on anything due to a wing surgery (mine not a planes) I might want to come take a look. Yes send pics and include one of the young cadet. I'll bet you were young and pretty. Don't give up on the airline pilot dream. There is a huge pilot shortage and perhaps you can get a waiver!
