| Harry F. Asbury Amelia, VA | Hi James. I hope I have the right guy. Are you still working on the HO%S-i you have and is it flying now?
I'm busy writting an artical on my tour with the little hot rod in Korea and New River as the Sikorsky Rep assigned to VMO-6 and MAG 16, way back in the early fifties. Let me know how you are doing, please Harry 06/15/2005 @ 20:57 [ref: 10499] |
