Cool Flights I Have Done.

When did you shoot the last pic of the -60B with HSL-37? ER-61 was a newer bird when I left, but I have a few "farewell" pics of ER-61 that match the one in your pic and I was wondering if maybe you had taken them.

Texas has too many Fucktards for my liking.

I agree. They keep moving down from New York. The gay ones came from California.

Shot HSL-37 few years ago. I thought they were dis-established not long after I was there.

I thought NZ was lacking in Fucktards when I was there...

I certainly didn't run into any during my month stay at RNZAF Base Blenheim 1979. I was hosted by my old friend GrpCapt Ross "Kiwi" Donaldson (then Blenheim Base CO). I was on vacation after military retirement, & got to tour both North & South Islands. During the tour, spent 3 days at RNZAF Ohakea, as guest of 75 Squadron (A-4Ks). Our Kiwi "Scooter Drivers", were geat hosts & hard chargers!

BzB - Did you ever run into Gavin Howse, he is a good friend and one of the first A4 drivers here in NZ. He also did an exchange tour at Homestead flying Phantoms.

Ned, can I put the pics you posted in this thread up on the AW Facebook page (with credits of course)?

 

[Alpha_Echo_606]

Ned, thanks for posting the great pictures, keep posting them.

I do remember meeting a 'Gavin' at Cecil, it was only in passing, didn't catch his Surname. I do recall meeting a GrpCapt Hope, who flew over a few times to check up on the training/transition program. He was Ross' boss back at RNZAF HQ. Also a good A-4 buddy of mine, then USN LT Fred Myers, did a full exchange tour w/ 75 Sqdn. in early '70s. Man did I envy that dude!
