| Raymond Delisle Brookfield, MA | 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. 02/08/2011 @ 11:23 [ref: 35951] |
