| Interesting news I hadn't heard about that happening. Thanks for the link Thorlifter.  Syscom started a thread on Henry Allingham before he became the oldest man a while back. http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/wor...hday-8351.html (Oldest man marks 111th birthday) Wheeslup

I posted a couple of video links in the other thread. Their short but he does talk a litle bit about his experiences and you can at least hear his voice. http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/wor...tml#post511161 (Oldest man marks 111th birthday) Wheelsup
