my farm here in North Carolina for the trip to Oshkosh for EAA
AirVenture 2022 — the greatest air show on earth. Of course, as you
read this EAA AirVenture 2022 will be a fait accompli.
Vintage has a spectacular schedule of events planned, but there are
two standouts that have occupied my mind a great deal recently. They
are the unveiling of the statue named “Morning Mission” and the ded-
ication of the Red Barn Porch to “Bob, Bob, and the Other Guy.” I was
never one to be cryptic, so an explanation is in order here.
“Morning Mission” is a wooden statue created to honor all military
pilots who served, and in particular all military pilots who served in
World War II. It was commissioned by Charles W. (“Charlie”) Harris
(1927-2017) and sculpted by renown chainsaw artist Clayton Coss,
both of whom were living in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the time. Some of
you will remember that Charlie Harris served as a director of VAA
(1988-1995) as well as treasurer of the organization (1996-2009). He
became one of the VAA’s most stalwart supporters after his retirement
from the VAA. The works of Clayton Coss are created “to memorial-
ize, to commemorate and to preserve” our nation’s heritage. This
beautiful wooden statue, “Morning Mission,” stands over 7 feet tall
and depicts a typical World War II pilot in uniform carrying his para-
chute while looking skyward as he walks toward his airplane for the
day’s flight. At Vintage, we chose to
place “Morning Mission” facing east. It
is housed in a newly erected gazebo in
the Charles W. Harris Memorial Park
