Respectfully speaking Sir, these are wonderful photo's that you are sharing with us (on all the threads). Forgive me, but I hope that these photo's are not "dating" you. I really enjoy the historical perspective in the photo's you are sharing with us here. Thank you for posting them

They may not be dating him, but they're sure dating me. I remember hearing about this stuff...LIVE.
Thanks Jack.

It was the best present I ever got.
My cousin was a helo pilot in the Marines.
He spent Christmas with us before he went to
Viet Nam. This was my present from him.
He's still very cool in my book!

Jack, nice photos; that is one of the best looking twin boom jobs I've seen, You could start a category of "Best Nose Art".

I guess it's true that every plane needs a hanger.
