Big thanks to Mark for supplying these links - I can now see the photos again (in Chrome)!

Some direct links to get extensions for Firefox and Chrome browsers to delete the PB ransom demand and restore the original image:

Yes, but it always seems Photobucket ends up disappearing most of the photos. Can everyone stop using them?

Bump to say the Tennessee Museum of Aviation is open again for visitors. No airshows and no museums this year have been a real drag ...

Update. The AF Museum in Dayton is working on a significant refresh of their SEA SAR gallery and plans to have a ribbon cutting in Spring 2023. There will be another replica Madden Kit on display to help share this story with a wider audience.

Probably one of the driving forces as to why we, Aircrew Life Support/Aircrew Flight Equipment, pack a spare battery with every radio now. A single battery lasts for about 8 hours of continuous use. It probably came about then, as when I came in, in 86, it was already a requirement.
