It would be fun if you could go. It is open to others so perhaps another year? Lots of places I still want to go. I am going to a RAF in Oklahoma book signing tomorrow at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum. It should be fun. I enjoy seeing the planes and it helps me sell books. Out of 1000, I am now down to about 100. Guess I will have to write another. Ha.

Royal Air Force Day in Oklahoma - Saturday, July 18 (Tulsa Air and Space Museum)
Royal Air Force Day in Oklahoma is dedicated to the young British troops who trained in the skies over Oklahoma during World War II. There is an unconfirmed quote attributed to Winston Churchill that says, "The Battle of Britain was won in the skies of Oklahoma." True or not, it speaks to the thousands of young men who trained in Oklahoma. Flying from bases in Miami and Ponca City they learned to fly first, the PT-19 primary trainers or PT-17, and then they moved up to the BT-13 and the AT-6 advanced trainers. Once the cadets earned their wings, they returned to England to help win the war. Some of the young men lost their lives in training accidents and are buried in Oklahoma cemeteries. Their graves are tended to this day by Oklahomans who honor them for making the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of freedom.
