Jack,

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 :D

Respectfully,

Paul

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!

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