One day I will get you guys trained. :roll: :wink:

Each set of pictures in the Desert Odessy thread included a link to a Google map which is all you need for directions...

...the list also available via this link is credited mainly to Andy's hard work.

I am glad to hear these H-19s survive.

I just spoke with Ron Mander from Whisper Jet, a really friendly and knowledgeable gentlemen. For the record there are no plans to get rid of anything , it is just a rumor. Always easier to go right to the source.


Andrew,

Good to hear! If I'd have had any kind of number or notion whom to contact, I'd have done so and I thank you for running with the ball. Were they able to help in getting you the parts you need?

Any plans to get or at least photograph, your father's old ship?

John,

Indeed I'd love to be able to wander through the storage facility and look at BuNo130164. There is a photo of it on my site from when it was at Chandler courtesy of Ryan Keough:

Andrew,

Dad flew BuNo130164 twice for a total of 1.9 hours back in 1952 while it was based at Santa Ana.
