FYI

The USS Hornet Museum is working hard on restoring one of our birds.

Janelle Sahr, one of the volunteers keeps us updated on its progress and I have kept a mirror page of the pictures for viewing for those interested you may go here (http://www.brookt.com/althornetpics.html) to see them. A larger view is available if you click on the smaller pictures.

You will be pleased to know that one of our birds (HMM-363) is a static display on the hangar deck of the USS Hornet, a floating museum, at the former Alameda Naval Air Station! Whom ever is in charge of the re-working is doing a remarkable job considering the plane is missing parts galore! I am trying to find ou the parties involved!

I recently discovered the H-34 onboard the aircraft carrier Hornet at the former NAS alameda (NGZ). It is looking good in its HMM-363 colors and Red Lion logo on its nose. I am very proud of all the guys that donated time, energy and money to make this happen.
Check out the museum on line:
uss-hornet.org.

Today I attended volunteer training so that im can become involved
for the Museum. Next week I attend Docent training.

Soon, when the helicopter is dedicated to the museum, I get to be the one who cuts the ribbon! YEA!

I will look out for "our" helicopter! I fully intend to create a mini museum within the Hornet for HMM-363. If anyone wants to send any photos, artifacts or any other pertinent information/materiel, I will see to it that it is well taken care of.

I encourage anyone who can to send more donations to the Hornet museum. The dot-com bust, 9/11 and a recent hotel strike in San Fran have put a chill on tourism in the area and the Museum can use any donations it can get.

Thanks a lot.

Bud,
I donated a flight helmet to that project. Janelle and the others are hard at work! Would like to see the helmet again though.....It guess it's green now.
