No kidding....Me too.. I did 9 1/2 years in the Navy, Parachute Rigger. I worked on A6 Intruders, and F14 Tomcats, well I just worked on the Parachutes and the Flight gear. If you don't mind what did you do?

A Helo Guy, I heard that it was tough working on those Helo's, with the torque of the motor, nothing ever stayed straight... The place I work for sold the Military a bunch of Troop crash seats for the H53 a few years back. The A-6, my all time favorite plane, you just couldn't get a bigger bombload/fuel load in any other plane and still get the job done..

Thanks for the Chat, and good luck with your HHR

What A great time I had.. Sorry everybody that I had to leave so quick after lunch, but I had to get my Wife back for her study class...
It was very nice meeting everybody, and putting a face to a name. I really enjoyed talking with everyone, and seeing there HHR"s and what the have done with them. I will try to figure out how to post the pics, and I will get them out to everybody that was there.

Thanks again for the Meet and Greet, and when is the next one....

It only took me an hour to get home. I had a great time. Hillbilly Hot Rod it was no big deal that you left. We talked for a bit longer and then everyone left around 3. It was nice to meet everyone. I'm looking foward to the Next Northeast Meet.
