As I sit at my desk, I gaze upon a black and white photo of the USCG HC-131, 5781. Flew her out of Corpus Christi TX for three years in 81-83. Fondly remembered as “two oil leaks held together by an electrical failure" Was my first Aircraft to work on, was designated as an Aviation Structural Mechanic Third Class, 09-18-81. One of my favorite planes.

52-5781 was assigned to the Base Flight section of the 604th OMS at Travis AFB, CA from 1969 until 1974. I was the Crew Chief and Flt Engineer at the time of her transfer to the Coast Guard in 1974. I still have my original flight manuals and checklists.
