Been There

Been there done that...... Only it was 50 years ago! Wow time FLIES.
1963 in N85344. The Airknocker had no radio and no lights. So you just called the Morristown tower by telephone from the 'Chatham Aviation' ramp . They sent you on your way with a friendly wave of the light gun and off you went over the soon to be DARK blue hills, out past Chester and the Hackettstown strip . Of course you would promise them you'd arrive at your destination before dark. Only it was off to Cherry Ridge PA and it got real dark a little earlier than normal that evening
Thank you for the memories Bean..

BTW....My grandson always sings that Jaws song to me when I go back to Jersey and we go out in his boat (he does need a bigger boat) .But he always ends it with: "HEY Grandpa doesn't drink ANYMORE!............But he don't drink any less either!"
