People,
For those of you who know Diz, He will be at KCCR to view the flight. The honor flight will occur at 13:15 hrs military time. Please note, Because Diz is a WW2 fighter pilot with kills in both the European and Pacific Theaters, social distancing is mandatory! Scott and George have bleach sprayers and are not afraid to use them! Not really but please respect the distancing rules and the state and county guidelines in regards to congregating.
