All right!!!! I'm ready to give everyone an update!!!! So far, I have 273 photos!!!!! WOW!!! Tonight I started to categorize them all, and broke them down into 9 different folders. I do still need to label them all, but I will have to get to that this weekend. Tomm. I am going to open up the engine compartment, and take another 100 just of that section. I also still need to get some good photos of the rotors.....I'll get to that on Thursday. BTW the blades are off of the bird. So far there are 50 pics of the cockpit itself.....today I opened the Pilot's window, and stood on a ladder outside of the window, and shot some great pics looking in.....I'm going to do the same for the co-pilot's side as well. I need EVERYONE who wants a CD to e-mail me their address ASAP!!! As I plan on starting to burn them this weekend, and will send them out to people in order of getting their address.
I thought of an idea, and just wanted to throw it out there for ya to chew on. I like to collect A/C memorabilia, and I have a lot of patches of squadrons I've served with, stickers, etc. I have a CH-53E windscreen, and various controls...etc. But I thought it would be kind of neat to add some things to my collection that are from your guys' world(s). I thought that what we could do is, if you would rather send me a squadron patch, A/C related sticker, or pin, or pamphlet, even rank insignia.....anything that can be related to A/C...nothing too much, just something to add to my little bundle. Then maybe that could work instead of paying me for shipping. So you would have a choice, if you have something you'd be willing to barter, send it.....and if not send me the Shipping and Handling. What do you think?? And NO Mel, I WILL NOT accept those wonderful tail rotor blades!!!!
