The colonels include Space

Members often volunteer

Nolen said he and some
friends next purchased a P-51.
When they went to a surplus
depot to buy another plane,
they were shocked.
"We saw all of these air-
planes being pushed into a
smelter, gone forever," he
said. "This gave us a reason to
start collecting at least one of
each of the World War 11

Nolen was an instructor

Volcano ravages Toutle river
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) -
There are no fish left in the
Toutle River, game officials
say — Mount St. Helens has
turned it into a raging hot tor-
rent and wiped out its spring
salmon run
Much of the timber at the
base of the volcano also is
gone, and the damage is runn-
ing into the tens of millions of
dollars.
The fish and trees were
obliterated when the volcano
erupted Sunday, pushing
streams of hot mud down the
mountain into lakes and
rivers.
Spirit I-ake, at the base of
the mountain, literally boiled,
and the steaming flows
reportedly heated the Toutle
River north of the mountain to
100 degrees. Witnesses said
fish leaped onto banks to
escape.
Fish in other rivers and
streams that drain the volcano
are also endangered by high

"None of these aircraft were

Not all the planes flew in the
