We had to start cutting somewhere.

We had members in Alaska, Hawaii; we even had a wing in Canada, but they kind of died out. There were some in Europe, too, at one time.

A lot of barns in those days had arrows painted on their roofs and other messages to let the pilots known they were still on course. And those guys used to joke that the early airplanes were made of sticks and wires.

We've opened it up to keep it going.
