Speaking Of Interesting Covers

I think my father was making 18 dollars a week..so 75 cents was a piece of change..he must have gotten passes from his buddy !

Thanks Phil for the thought. My affinity for the space covers is left over from my younger days. During Jr. High and Sr. High my bed room walls where plastered with military Jets and all types of Space craft.

Cim, I was going to mechanics school for the F104 Starfighter..then one day one stupid instructor said..you will probably be washing airplanes for the first year or so...i got out..i dont know how..mabe because of my test scores..but they sent me to ground to air radio school instead..i was lucky they usually threaten people who did not finish school with food service or air police

The F104 huh??? I always thought it looked like a dart on steroids... I didn't get to go into the service but My Father was a civilian worker for the Ark. ANG 188th TFG. While he was there I got to make friends with most of the Co.O.'s and the specially the Base Commander and they pulled strings and got me up in an F-4 Phantom and later on I got to go up with the USAF Thunderbirds and the USN Blue Angels. I also had some friends that worked in the Helicopter barn at Fort Chaffee, Ark. and they got me up in several different choppers. I have flown the UH-1, in the AH-64 Apache & Huey Cobra, Kiowa, Black Hawk, and a couple of civilian Bell Rangers. Know those are some aircraft I would really love to find on stamps.

Really nice covers. I've enjoyed looking at them all.

Nice covers, like PhilB. I'll keep my eyes open for Space covers for you, think I may have a couple kicking around here.
Always nice to see what other folks collect, never boring. Also enjoy see what areas they collect, be it covers stamps or Post cards.
Thanks for sharing!

Cim I live a mile and a half from the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome,come on over sometime and we can take a ride in a kite...one of those early double wing jobs...i have never been up yet..they cut the engines when they come over my back yard..sounds like a stock car race..you may have heard of it..they do a world war 1 skit on weekends !!

C/W, ole pal ,ole buddy



If you EVER find those coppers on a stamp please remember to get 2.
That would be a find. I have a chopper I will post in the let's go flying thread later.

Speaking of Flying, found this cover among my Naval covers. First Flight from McMurdo to Chile, So. America in 1964.
Found it rather interesting as it has U.S. Air Mail Postage as well as Chile postage and was cancelled by the Navy PO as well as a Chile PO.
