Other Comments:
After retiring from American Airlines in 1995, I worked as office manager for friends who owned 3 Port of Subs sandwich shops. Then I helped out another friend as office manager of Casino Gaming School. When the Las Vegas Gladiators came to town, I worked for them as Operations Manager. Great people to work with and a fun job!!! I also worked several years at House of Blues as a production runner. It was a lot of fun until they, because of insurance requirements, required the performers to use taxi or limo transportation. When I could no longer transport them in my vehicle, I bailed.
Phu Cat AB, RVN. We had 2 squadrons of them. The only time I ever flew on one was to go to DaNang to go on R&R.
