Default Bailey bridge

Hi Terry, amazing, that's the one. I remember going to the bridge with my father on his bucket list tour before he died 6 years ago. Right after that i brought him to the nearby Fairview Farm run by the Herring family since 1780. On the farm was an airfield where i had arranged a six ship missing man formation for him as a farwell. My flybuddies really really showed great compassion towards my father who at the time was dying from lung cancer. I was flying the missing man ship and came out of the formation right hand side and up and then did a wingover and descended over the field at 0 elevation in front of Dad. I pulled up over said Bailey Bridge and rejoigned my buddies in the formation. Dad enjoyed immensly. Strange thing we do these flights when Veterans in our area die but they never get to see us. I wanted Dad to see my team in action doing the Missing Man. He gave the tumbs up and passed a few days later. It is still emotional for me....Robert.
