Smile Hello, I'm new.

hello! I'm F4F Wildcat, I used to study WWII aircraft when I was younger.
I did a lot of research, including my fav planes, especially my name.
I hope you'll welcome me into these forums. I'm in other forums of another subject that are the same type, so I know my way around it mostly.

Hey, thanks. I've always welcomed new people in other forums that I go to, guess I'm on the other side of the fence now, huh? LOL!
Whoa, you're a moderator, huh? didn't even see that until now!

We like all new members to feel at home - I'm sure you've been through a few of the threads. Some of us could be a bit crusty but it keeps the riff-raff out. There are many here who are also pilots, maintainers, engineers and historians so we have a great mix of folks.

Again, welcome and enjoy!

CCheese -

Don't know why I never noticed you're in VaB. Just a couple hours down the road from me in Richmond. My parents settled in VaB in 71 when my father retired from the Navy, had a place in Thoroughgood about 200 yards from old Adam's house. Sold out in 01.

Thanks, all. I appreciate it.

Yeah, R Leonard. A fav of mine for a while now,
also cause I'm near O'Hare as well.
There's a mock-up of an F4F there in the airport.
