plot…

Hey Gaye Lyn ….

It looks like you hooked up with Embry Riddle …. That is my Alma Mater

– I was there between furloughs at Zantop ..1970-75 Senator – Social

Functions; Sigma Chi, etc., After my 4.5 year USMC experience, it was

Miami-Dade Junior College and University of Tennessee … finally got

all my airman’s certificates and started with commuter airlines and

moved to the big iron DC-6’s at Zantop Airlines (VERY non-sked and where

I flew with George Cannock of VAL) and on my annual layoffs from flying

auto parts at Zantop finished up at Embry Riddle with a BS in

Aeronautical Science. Hawaiian Air came about with a cargo contract

they had using Zantop’s Electras … I was typed in the Electra and

hello Hawaiian’s seniority list.

I would expect your project right in ERAU’s wheelhouse and a source for

research help, manpower, and creative ideas …. students will be

stoked. Have fun with it!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Jake
