That is a good looking Nobler.  I guess Phil is flying out to Muncie(Indianapolis).  Are any of the others coming?  Have fun,  DOC Holliday

Larry, gereat pics!  I envy you SoCal guys and your flying sires. ;D

Is Heman's Nobler a Green Box that he made to look like a Gieseke? It sure looks like the TF Gieseke kit. :D

AND, they even used to have WAM Contests in San Jose, (That's at the south end of the Bay Area Bill)
on Sunday's near the 4th of July in the late 50's and 60's.  They had them at a High School there,
forgot the name though.

In the Phil Granderson pic, it looks like Jim Persson just finished relieving himself on the table.   LL~
