It has been many years.... I am old as dirt now, perhaps older. I flew AW from ~1988 -1995 my first tail # was 5503, call sign etoile, later flew 5586 (PA6-5000), and 2689 (moonlight serenade 4q) too.
Reading this thread, and real life has made me feel ancient. It is still great to see some of the old timers are still around. If anyone has contact with Garos (Russ Winslow), then please send him my regards. My best to all of you! et
