"Andy" and P.J. Murray flew #1, "Woody" and Bruton flew #2, Rob Lancaster and Nino Cosomano, #3, the X.O. and Ladd #4, Maj. Bland and Ensley were in #7, me and "Mac" McIlvain were in #9, Ev Haymore and Vern Sharpless in #10, "Nelly" and Bartlett (?) in #11, Ron and Feeney were in #12.
Pictures were taken over El Toro.
Really miss the old bird.
