Preliminary report on the vent sealing project

[Dec 4] After this mornings fairly steady drenching rain there appears to be some progress with the leaks. The leak resulting in the stream across the floor shown in the photo here on November 15th seems to be fixed. But the other one under my desk / aft of the shower leaked just a tiny bit. I'll have to reserve final judgement on the one by the door until after a heavier rain or two but the other one obviously needs further attention. Darn these things are elusive!

Norden Bombsight training at Deming NM

During the Second World War, Deming was again the designated location for a training base. This time, the Deming Army Air Base was established east of town to train young airmen in the use of the secret Norden bombsight. The trainees were processed in groups of 500 every 6 weeks, and they flew their missions in the 150 AT-11 Beechcraft trainers, designated the Kansan, each armed with up to 10 practice bombs.
