I know him.  He was the MO (Maintenance Officer) when I left. 

If you're like me, you like to check out hobby shops anywhere you can.  You can check out the Hobby Chest on Western Blvd.  It's across from the mall. 

Semper Fi,

Fed Ex just delivered my new Academy 1/48 CH-53E about an hour ago.  I have spent the intervening time examining the contents of the rather large box.  WOW!  WOW! and WOW again!  That is going to be a very complicated and super detailed model right out of the box.

  My son and his wife are leaving in THREE WEEKS for a trip to MCAS New River to see the Best Man at their wedding.  He is a pilot for the Condors of HMH-464.  I am hoping to get this beast put together in time for them to take it out there with them.  Let's see now, if I can figure out how to cram 48 hours of modeling into each day, forget TV, computers, eating, sleeping, working, etc, I just MIGHT make it in time.  Here goes!
