So, I was digging around in my basement today... (pictures inside)

And I came across a box. I opened it up and found pictures of my cousin, Randall Tuttle, who was an ace of World War II in the Pacific. Randall died sometime in 1943 with about 8 victories to his credit while strafing an airfield. He flew a P-47 Thunderbolt and, just like his cousin Byron, was an only child. Byron died in 1944 in a B-17G over Germany while bombing submarine pens. Here are the pictures:

Cherish those photos Stealth Hunter. And always keep Randall Tuttle's story close to your heart.

Love the jug!

I love the Jug too. A psychic once told me that I was shot down in one over Europe in my last life. Might explain why I always find the 47 the easiest plane for me to fly in sims.

I wish I had flown a jug in my past life...

Keep the photo's and reord the story behind them so future generations know what they represent.

They'll be going away in a safe that I keep under a concrete slab in my basement. Hey, tornadoes aren't fun.
