A Chief and plane fixer, that's all?? You were the backbone. You could do
yourjob w/o us, we couldn't do our job w/o you. But history is not one of my
strongpoints.P. C. ChisholmCDR, USN(ret.)Old Phart Phormer Phantom, Turkey,
Viper, Scooter and Combat Buckeye Phlyer
Back in the days before either of us a pilot did not need guys like me to keep
flying. They did it themselves.
With todays technology an aviator needs a lot of people on the ground just to
have a chance to get into the Wild Blue.

I enjoyed every minute and was truly honored to have been able to have served
with so many fine people who truly appreciated what I did. Not one time in the
22+ years I worked on Naval Aircraft and signed paperwork did an aircraft fail
to return safely home.
Now I set up pool tables. No one does it better.
