It's been great to have contact with Bob, he has expressed good experiences of Charlie Battery, and has become a welcomed supporter of the web site and of the project overall.
Thank you Bob...!
Sure is a pretty paint job...!
And who's that on the phone in the window of the "Ready Room" on Ken's left?
The doors they are in front of are to the missile maintenance building.
