Greetings Loyal Airmen, with Fall in full autumn regalia, we’ve got the Hangar 27 all decorated for one of favorite times of the year, Halloween.  Time whip up new costumes, read a little Edgar Alan Poe and stock up on tons of candy for those little spooks and goblins who’ll come Trick or Treating.   Fun times for sure.

And keeping up with the horror theme, it’s with a giant smile on our face that we announce the release of our latest Airship 27 title, SHERLOCK HOLMES – Secrets of the Dead by writer Jack Beddows. This is an incredible, full length starring the great detective and his ever present loyal ally, Dr. Watson, as they unravel a deep, dark mystery which takes them to the notorious London cemetary/rail station known as the Necropolis. Believe me Loyal Airmen, once the Air Chief started reading this, he could not put it down. The book features a gorgeous cover by artist Adam Shaw and has nine black and white interior illustrations by our own Rob Davis. It is available now from Amazon in both hard copy and on Kindle. A perfect reading experience for the season.

The Air Chief has always had a fascination with aviation in all its forms and one of the most fun days while on our recent vacation back east was visiting with our sister-in-law Sandy and her husband, Andy Fagan. Andy is into model airplane flying and took us along one morning to a nearby field where he and the members of his model plane club gather.  That’s him and the Air Chief above as he prepares one of his two planes. This one being a traditional prop model.

Up next was his red and white jet plane. Watching this beauty cut through the air was a real hoot.

Here is she about to take-off.  Both models were radio-controlled by a hand-held controller and it takes a really deft hand to handle these amazing models once they are airborn. We cannot thank Andy enough for allowing us to spend those great few hours with him and his pals. Truly wonderful memories we’ll cherish over the winter months when the cold sets in and snow covers the ground. Oh yeah.

As ever thanks for stopping by and we’ll see you all back here next week.

Ron – Over & Out!
