One more from the Museum…
The O-1 that landed on the Midway Apr 30, 1975 with SEVEN people it in… (and yes the crew of the Midway adopted the Vietnamese family that were in the airplane and got them resettled in the U.S. and the kids educated)
Thanks to Jon for catching my error of calling it an OV-1 (which is a Mohawk)… I wuz tired…
And since we were over at Panama City, some food pics… But first, the drawing on the window, whom ever did the ‘artwork’ isn’t bad 🙂
The hole in the wall restaurant, it’s called Hunt’s and it is NOT a tourist trap, but a local restaurant hidden down by the boat yards…
The food… The first of a total of NINE dozen Apalachicola Oysters (3 dozen apiece)… at $4.25 a dozen not a bad price 🙂 and yes we were FULL when we left!!!
It is good to see you are having fun on your travels.
The Vietnamese kids must be in their 40’s or close to it.
The poster is done well.
The base here has volunteers gussying up the display planes. They are looking like they are having so much fun painting up the old birds.
Aaaah. Tabasco makes the snot rockets go down smooth!
Ahhhhh Panama City… fond memories of the place, except for the sand fleas on certain runs…
O1 Birddog not OV1 Mohawk. Which makes the landing easier but the carrying of 7 a lot harder.
S Phillips- Just avoiding boredom 🙂 And yes they are- and all doing well! Thank the volunteers for me if you get the chance!
Six- Yep, that and GOOD horseradish! WHew…
Sean- Yep, thankfully it’s too early in the year 🙂
Jon- You’re right… damnit… I’ll fix it!
Damn! Howinhell does anybody eat 3dozen oooysters in one sitting? Any pole vaulting in the early hours? Never mind, I don’t really want to know! oy vie!
At least you are still in the USA.
Ev- It’s EASY when they’re good 🙂 The groaning everytime I rolled over came later…LOL
WSF- Yep, and that is a NICE change!
See you taking in a few sights on your travels. Nice little old plane and with history too.
As to the oysters, can’t do those anymore – allergies, plus never liked them unless fried.
I want some fresh oysters.
I miss living in South Fla.some times
