Good to see a plane from NAS Chino attending! If you see Mr. Walsh, tell him Mother says hi.

Did you get to see the Piasecki fly? That would be a real treat! :D

Cheers!

Anyone have more info on that Ft. Irwin Huey? I saw one at the Minter Field Show, but couldn't find any info on the base or helo. Thanks in advance.
