Among his many movies a favorite was Catch-22 The following link has lots of info for aviation buffs. After the filming the aircraft were parked inside a quickly fenced compound at Chino Airport (Calif) and them sold off.

As explained by Roger Elbert, the movie critic, “AlanArkin (Yossarian, of Catch 22 fame), is afraid of dying, yes…..But we all are…….he doesn't want to fly five more missions. That's his problem. We have our own. Yossarian wants out of the Air Corps.; we want to escape from time, to become immortal. But to get out of the Air Corps, or stop time, you've got to be insane. And no one who wants out is insane. The truly horrifying truth at the center of the Heller novel is that we're all trapped in that airplane, or in life, and there's no escaping death because eventually...




how this all relates to the Crossfire is we continue to love it in spite of the constant threat of the mystery no starts. This is our cross to bear.

……..our personal catch 22.

I wasn't aware that Glenn Frey (Eagles member & independent musician) had died in 2016. Wow.
