  I just missed you Bill as I too visited the heavy 21 folks. Lets face it, they had the greatest looking fixed wing aircraft of the war. They treated me with upmost honor and are a fine bunch of guys. I was able to stump them with the question as to why they had their mini guns mounted backwards on one of their birds, #2.

  Sam Gore cliamed that never happened, until I showed him the picture that I took when they visited VO-67 in 1968.

  Jerry Tripp invited me down and I will return the favor at our next reunion in Sandy Eggo.
