Re: V1 people

Jim there are a few of us old V-1 people from 1961 thru 1967.
We are having a reunion October 2th through October 5th.
The reunion is in Branson, Missouri and Doug Batteral is heading it up.
This is my 4th time trying to answer this V-1 request.

Re: V1 people

Thats more like V1 folks, i am glad you guys have stepped up, the kind of tight bonds that was created on the flightdeck while working those long hours didnt happen every where and its true no one really knows how it was to work the flight deck unless you was in v1 or v2, afterall,, the flightdeck was ours! lol I flew off shortly after we split the crews in half to make blue and gold teams,, 8hours on 8hours off,, not sure how it worked,,but i was sure less people would be hurt and fewer aircraft movement accidents. you know,, i still blush when i remember rolling that f4's wheel into the scupper, bet i scared the pants off that pilot, i thought it was going over for sure,, first time i got to see tillie in action.
Well Guy, i cant make the get together, but i will be there in spirt, and if you folks do it again i will be there
stay well my friend,, tell the fellows i send my well wishes.
Jim
