I got back from Oshkosh, sat down and started pouring through 30 pounds of reading material gathered and ran across your CG-4A article in the GA News publication. As an associate member of the WW2GPA, (my father was an instructor in the CG-4A)I was very excited to see it. Last night I was rereading the Spring Silent Wings Newsletter and saw that John P. had recently visited the Museum in Lubbock. All of this is a little two coincidental. With the Annual Convention coming up in September, and the numbers of current members dwindling by attrition, I appreciate the interest in this history and the veterans that made it happen. Good work to everyone. I would very much like to get my father and myself to Dayton this year, if his health permits it.

Well. such is life.

We are members of the Whiteman Heritage Foundation, a non-profit organization restoring a CG-4A Glider. This is being accomplished at the only "active" military base at which Glider Pilots were trained -- Whiteman Air Force Base in Sedalia, Mo., formerly known as the Sedalia Air Base. We understand Mr. John Pappas visited recently and told of his project to fly a WACO CG-4A from England to Normandy for the 65th Anniversary of D-Day in 2009. What a delightful endeavor to pursue and we hope it will be with our glider. We are anxious to see the completion of this "DreamFlight" and wish you all the very best.

Words cannot express the excitement and delight I experienced when I learned of your Dream Flight plans to put a CG-4A glider into flying condition and fly it from England to Normany to land in one of the WW2 D- Day landing zones . How I have longed to see one of those fine old birds fly once again . I participated as a glider pilot in the Overlord , Market - Garden and Varsity , D- Day , Holland , and the Rhine Crossing at Wessel , Germany in WW 2, respectively . Gale A.

Dear John & Betty,
It was a honour and a pleasure to meet you, in such special circumstances. Flying Rose is certainly something I'll never forget.
I truly hope our contact remains alive, and we can keep Rose flying here in Sao Carlos, Brazil.
Whenever I plan to go to the US, I'll do my best to visit you.
Warm regards,
Daniel
