    This mobile hospital was at Moffett Field (part military base, part NASA, part Google) near the Silicon Valley. I need to research more about it.

    See the link I posted above.

    I was wondering if this will be its new home or if they are training with eye surgeons in the area? It's a pretty great organization. They perform surgeries that people in some parts of the world would never have access to (cost or facilities). As a part of the process, they also provide training to local doctors.

    I didn't see it. Not sure how I missed it... I even went back several pages and still didn't see it.

    It seems like a really cool organization. I heard it will be based at Moffett for about the next 6 months. I fly into there several times a month so I will see if I can learn more.

    This one. :D

    They are pretty cool. I cannot imagine anything more thrilling than helping restore the sight of a pt that would otherwise remain blind for lack of money or facilities capable of providing such services.

    And that their families are still around and will be able to attend the ceremony
    I hadn't heard of this incident before....will have to investigate further. I gather from the article that there never was a very thorough investigation into the crash due to the remoteness of the site...shame.

    There are several sites like this that I know about. I know it's been a long, long time. But I'm glad the families have some closure now.

    Is that that weird DeHavilland that was poised to be the biggest thing in aviation until the 707 debuted and crushed it in all categories? The Comet, right?

    That's really cool to see. Reminds me of the "jeep in a box" crate that made shipping jeeps easier.
