On this day in 1865 the United States flag was once again raised over
Ft. Sumter in Charleston harbor to mark the end of the Second War of
Independence. President Lincoln, unable to attend, sent a letter
marking the occasion. The president sent his secretary John G. Nicolay.
That evening, he went to the theater.

THE WINNER! Is Wilton!
Yes! the first flight of the B-52 was on April 15, 1952. 63 years
ago tomorrow!
Airframe type still being flown by the original owner. A record every
day they stay in service. I am not sure what second place is for an
airframe type still in service with the original owner, but I bet it
is not close to 63 years.
Yep, I caught it - first flight of a B-52.
'Saw a photo of it in local (Raleigh, NC) paper coupla days later.
Little did I think that it would become such a large part of my life.

Nope! That would have nothing to do with the subject. Wilton ought
to catch this one.
That was true, but not the anniversary I was speaking of, nor was it
in the right week. THE day is tomorrow. Sixty three years ago today
was the eve of the event. Anybody know what happened Apr 15, 1952?
