One of those pictures that make the work we do at the reunion and on the website worthwhile. This is Peter Thomas on the right talking to Bob. He found us through the website and is the son of Gregory Thomas who won the Dadalien Award for landing the Tiger DC-6 in the early fifties after losing all the engines. He was Captain of the Connie that later disappeared over the pacific and all aboard were lost and remains one of aviation's great unsolved mysteries. After all these years and talking to Bob, he found out that Bob had flown many hours in the search for him. Peter is an A&P and Flight instructor a Stead Field, Reno NV and I am going to keep in touch with him and he is going to furnish me with some photos of his father and we can put them on our memoriam page. Again it is so important to us for the families of Flown West Tigers to contact us as it is the only way we can get proper pictures and history. |

| She dropped by and bought some of the AVG items I had brought to the swap meet, you can see some of them on the table in the background.. She was a Tiger Pilot and is now flying for FedEx. She had not met Dick and after I told him I was sorry if I kept sending pretty girls to talk to him, and his reply was, "well sometimes you just have to make these sacrifices" One of my greatest times at the reunion, Dick sat down in the reception area and there were just a couple of us and he spend an hour or two relating some of the old China stories. How much he adds to our reunions, I hope to see him at many more of them. |
