Pardon the photo came out so small. Mechanic Rick Jackson was a funny guy to work with. If anyone knows of his life after this time, let me know.

Anyone know if Norm is still around? I worked with him in the 80’s at ERA. He was living in FL at the time, great guy to work with! He was flying the D model AStars when we first got them.

If the USMC wanted to recruit the hardest people on the planet they'd do well to go down there and get some of them local boys who grew up swattin them damn bugs.  Worst place on earth.  And I've been to some $#!tholes.
