Hello....

Guess I should have done this from the git-go...... introduce myself, I mean.
OK... I'm 73, I retired from the U.S. Navy in 1971. When I left boot camp
I was an Airman Apprectice going to radio school. I was an Aviation Radio-
man (AL) until they killed the rate, then I went to Radioman (RM). I've
flown in a lot of aircraft that people only read about (B-17, PB4Y-2, B-26,
B-25, AD-4Q B-36 (yeah ! ) and some others.). I've served in Korea
and did eleven months in "Nam" attached to a Korean Marine outfit.

I'm a WW-II nut and read whatever I can get my hands on.
My sign-on is ccheese, but you may call me....... Charles

This looks like a great site..... my compliments to those in charge.

Welcome & enjoy the site: From a retired AECS. Now let me help you feel really old, I went to Boot Camp at RTC Great Lakes 6/30/1969 and I retired with 23 years.
