Don Lehtola passed on 1 Sept in Pearl MS. Don was an IP/FE at Langley when I first met him in 1969. Before that he had been an enlisted mechanic at Otis AFB and a C-130AC at CCK. He left Langley and was the AF Adviser to the MS ANG. He retired at Jackson and went to work for First Miss Corp as their chief pilot. I used to see him in Dallas often. Great pilot and great friend.

If you know Chick and would like to give him a call, drop me a note at [email protected] and I'll give you his number. Brenda was diagnosed with breast cancer around 2007 but she beat it.

She went to California to care for Carolyn before Chick retired and they later married.

I start to apologize in advance if this subforum is not the proper place to add this thread. Well all i wanted to say is that I'm available for eventual flights (not looking for a career right now). I have a current ATPL(A) C-130/L-382 with IR(ME) and a class 1 medical. I also have experience as an AC in airdrops (CDS, Heavy, paratroopers, door bundles, etc), formation flight (including airdrop in formation) and low level navigation in several parts of the globe. If anyone knows of any options or requests for eventual flights (movements, hauling for depots or similar) please let me know. Thank you in advance

Many of you know CMsgt Doug Grant & his "crew chief" Joanie. Their home was the "hardstand" for many an airlifter over the years. How many meals she served us all can never be counted. She fought cancer for the last 7 yrs or so and was "promoted" from aircrew status to heavenly angel wings this week. Joan's wake this evening was attended by many ole' airlifters. She would have loved to see so many all together. She will be missed by us all. If you'd like Doug's address to send a card-private email me pls.

This is a letter writen by my cousin a Vietnam 67/68 Marine. I thought it appropriate to share this Memorial Day weekend. I know many of you ride and may or may not know of the Patriot Guard. Thanks cuz you continue to be a great Marine. This a story about a US soldier, Sgt. Donald Gordon Wylie, but first a little background to put it in perspective.

My lovely wife Loretta gave it to me for Christmas in 2006 because she knew I loved to ride & it's become a pretty important part of my life. Shortly after that a friend of mine discovered another all-American thing th…
