Chuck, one of the best pilots that I've flown with.

No Dan we can't take that home, Dan with a 2.75mm rocket, look at the old MK-44 motor on it.

All I need is a larger screwdriver or a big hammer and I'll fix it this time. And, no Otto I wont use my farmers pliers (vise grips) again

HE 40mm rounds

More HE 40mm rounds

Yes, Sonny I know. I'm working on it as fast as I can.

This was the first TOW that Otto loaded on the the aircraft, it was the first time I could teach him after all the times he was able to teach me some thing about being a mechanic (and myself) then and he taught me many more years to come
