AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE
The month of February was an unusual one. Maintenance activities were normal, with the exception of the helicopter section. They provided transportation for Prince Philip and the royal party during their visit to B.G. Col Humbrecht flew down to be on hand for the big event. He and everyone concerned were extremely pleased with the excellent condition of the helicopters. Take a bow, men.
The political strike in Georgetown had some indirect effects here for a few days. No water and no electricity brought out the coleman lanterns and many drums of emergency drinking water. Also guards were posted on aircraft and buildings. They seemed confused about their weapons, thirty caliber cane knives, single action baseball bats, and short range rocks. We're proud to say that after the crisis was over, not one man had dropped a bat on his toes, cut a finger off, or called the corporal of the guard to go to the little house. Look proud, men.
All this took 27 days of February, so on the 28th, our B-50 aircraft flew 191:30 hours to meet our monthly quota. That's all for this month. Cheers to our families and friends at home.
