   catnap,
   I didn’t come up with much on a quick web search for Graser Park. It appears to be a planned project for the budget year 2007.

   You’re welcome. This plane is completely restored and flies. For $400+ you can take a ride. I didn’t.

   In the few minutes I was there, I overheard lots of conversations exchanging names, unit numbers, service locations etc. It makes me think, "War is hell" but "Brotherhood is beautiful".

   Ashe,

   Nice shot of the "Nine O’ Nine". Did you get any more pictures? She was at AVL a few years ago with her sister ship, a B-24 "Liberator". The Collins Foundation has done an excellent job of restoring them.

   Venice Florida has a park named Graser Park. Or, a parking lot. I am usually wrong.
