Just noticed a small error in your piece on McCready and Fokker T-2. Two of the photos of the Fokker are labeled as having AS 64223 id, while the rest of the photos and the text correctly label the aircraft as being AS 64233. Not a biggy, but thought you should know.
Thank you, Hayden. I appreciate you mentioning that. It was a simple typographical error, but it turned up in several articles that mentioned the airplane. I hope I corrected them all.
