Looks good! Is that named for Richard Bong, the WWII P-38 ace?

Yes sir. Bong was from Wisconsin.

Southern Wisconsin is beautiful country BTW, with lot's of road side corn (aka, "Sweet Corn Lady") stands popping up around the August harvest time.

I had the honor of being LSO when this one came up to the pads and pushing the launch button. The pictures don't do this thing justice. It's absolutely gorgeous.

Great work Marty!

Thanks guys. I thought for sure it would be all dinged up but I guess there were less rocks(maybe just a few) in the weedy field than on the runway.

If it's still there, it's a large cheese shop and tourist trap near Kenosha, WI.

It's still there, though, from what I've read, the building was going to be torn down due to the reconstruction of I-94 (which runs right past them), and they were going to relocate to a new building just behind the location of the old building. I think this may have already happened.
