Hi Dave!
Another family member was just deployed and she will fly in combat. I spent 6 years in SE Asia and have flown around the world more than 20 times. That’s another story, among others.
Based on the article you wrote, I was honored by the board of directors of the Honeywell Aviation Instrument Operations in Olathe, Kansas last week. They are just outside of Kansas City, where TWA had a maintenance base. I use their KL94 GPS in the Apache. They gave me a tour of the plant, which includes more than 800 personnel. What a great contribution they have made and are making in the aviation electronics field.
I spent 3 years with TransWorld Airlines, headquartered in New York City and lived in Darien, Connecticut, next door to Charles Lindbergh. I have all of his books and the ones his daughter wrote for him. I met her in Little Falls, Minnesota some time ago and she signed her book for me and entered, “To Joe, who knew my dad very well.”
The sky is my home.
Take care!
