I have that photo and a couple others on my Den wall.

Everytime I glance at them, it makes me smile. That had always been #1 on my bucket list. It cost me $900 but was worth every penny. I have had a few guys at the Fire Station snap..... "You paid HOW much???" I quickly snap back... "TO DO TWO DIVES IN A SBD DAUNTLESS!!!??" They pause and say.... Yeah, I see.

I work with a fella who has his Pilots license. He paid $3000 to take the stick of a 2 seat P-51. He told me that if it has to be explained, the person questioning will never really get it. MY favorite critic was a guy who I know that blew $4500 in one afternoon in Vegas. I asked him if he has a photo of his empty wallet on his Den wall! lol
