Lunken Airport is hosting Warbirds this weekend. Lots of Warbirds including FiFi the last flying B 29

But the high-lite for me was meeting and talking to Herb Heilbrun, a B-17 Pilot from Cincinnati with an amazing story. This 95 year old officer and gentleman sat in the 90 degree weather telling his and John Lehar's story and signing his book http://www.amazon.com/Black-White-Ai.../dp/0618562974.

Unfortunately, John passed on a few years ago.

Watch this amazing video

John Leahr passed away this year. His funeral was at Kennedy Heights Presbyterian Church on May 9. A very good man.
