L-3B Requested for Fly-over during the Black Mountain, N.C. Memorial Day Ceremony
On May 26, 2008, The 352nd Fighter Squadron, LLC had the honor of being requested to participate in the Black Mountain Veteran's Cemetary Memorial Day Ceremony. The 352nd utilized the Vintage WW II L-3B to do the honors. The most surreal thing happened to Pilot, Don Barber this day. As he circled, away from the ceremony, in order to gain altitude to get over the mountain ridge....Taps was being transmitted by the ground element, over the radio, and could be heard over the headphones, within the cockpit of the aircraft. Definitely an unforgettable experience....
Also, later this month, Capt. Forstchen was elected to the Shiftlet Field Board of Directors, and is now currently serving in the capacity of secretary.
