Glen Reed Mechanicsburg, PA | Recently, an 87 year old golfing friend of mine...a retired naval aviator...challenged me to find anything about the J2F-1 Duck on the Internet.
I found a picture of a Duck in flight, downloaded and printed a copy of it, and gave it to him
To my surprise, he informed me that it was HE who was piloting the Duck shown in the picture.
What a coincidence! 06/20/2002 @ 21:04 [ref: 5154] |
