FLAM TOUR - 16 AUGUST 2014

On 16 august 2014, our club was offered a guided tour of the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum at the MCAS Miramar, by Steve "Smitty" Smith.
Seven club members gathered at 9:00AM for the event, joined by a friend of former president Rex McCoy.

The tour was extremely informative. Being the museum curator, Smitty knows every detail of the life of each aircraft, from their history
to the way they were acquired and transported to the museum, to how the restoration of each one was carried out. The tour ended with
a visit of the restoration hangar, with the overwhelming presence of a B-17 in early stages of restoration.

Our thanks to the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum, and in particular to Smitty for such an entertaining visit.
