One thing that did occur to me is this.
Anyone who has been involved in the aviation industry for any length of time (in my case over 35 years ) will have seen many and varied changes. Some for the good eg safety and some not so good eg 9/11 etc. Most of us have heard the phrase "where ere you when this happened "i.e where were you the day JFK was shot. I would like to think that with so many people in attendance for OJA's arrival especially kids that as the kids get older and someone asks the question where were you the day OJA arrived at the "Gong" that at least some of them will be able to respond " oh I was there"' Sentimental? maybe but I would like to think that with so many negative things about aviation there are still some things worth hanging on to.
