Was stationed at Goose Bay Air Rescue Squardron 1955
Flight Engineer on SA-16 Albatross Went to Flight School
at West Palm Beach Florida prior to Goose Bay from Air Rescue Squardron at Westover Air Base Mass. This plane
was a work horse for Air Rescue Jato-assist and all
it just flew forever and ever, when all tanks were filled.
