Col Morgan was our guest and speaker at a dinner and seminar just this past March at the American Airpower Heritage Museum in Midland, TX. We had the Lone Star Flight Museum's B-17G, Thunderbird, and her crew as a back drop for his visit and after the seminar, the crew invited Col Morgan to do a bit of flying.

Three of us went along on the flight and I suggest that this is a good way to remember Bob Morgan. He was a delightful man to know and he will be missed by many.
