Bob, the OE-1s you flew from Okinawa were probably the ones we flew while serving with VMO-2, in 1957&58. The driveway to the motor pool at Sukiran Army base was our runway. We also flew HOK-1 synchropters with a horrible availability rate. Great plane, poor support. Geparton@aol.com 11/20/2011 @ 07:54 [ref: 50366] |

| Bob Lassiter Island of Bonaire, NC | I flew this girl in USMC in Japan 1961. Had to fly it with 4 others to Japan from Okinawa. Almost did not make it because we had a weather front come in. The chase plane was a DC-3. One of my fellow pilots ran out of fuel on the runway as we landed. It was close but we made it.
