| Charlie Culbertson Ferris, TX | Went to VR-8 in December 1951 and we had R5Ds and spring of 1953 we started getting the R7Vs and what a beautiful aircraft, I went to the Lockheed school and was a AD stricker and served in check crew 4 working on engine check and engine change crew, We would fly to where a engine needed change and live on the plane till we were finished. Great duty. Was on Midway Island when we droped a connie on its tale. You might have seen that picture. 02/02/2011 @ 15:43 [ref: 35921] |
