THANK YOU Bob Baranaskas for giving me the thrill of a lifetime on
July 11, 2008 at the Geneseo, NY air show by letting me sit in your P-40
decorated in General Robert L. Scott's markings. May you rest in peace.
THANK YOU for the P40 sound on our Home Page - we couldn't have done it
"Warbirds Over Long Island is dedicated to continuing the mission started by my father Bob Baranaskas. I believe every one of us who is part of the Warbird community has an obligation to employ these former weapons of war as my father did, as living tributes to those who preserve, protect and defend. My father lived that credo to his last moments." Chris Baranaskas
