I went to the Post Office earlier and spotted this visitor to our Airpark.
In 1954 I was a 16 year old Solo student working as a line boy at Grand Central Air Terminal. A very pretty young lady came to see what I did at the airport.
Of course I had to show her the Bamboo Bomber. I fired it up and ran some engine checks to impress her.
The door opened and a VERY angry chief instructor grabbed me by my collar. He ordered me to shut it down, punch out and clean up his office--spic and span!!
His windows had been open and the tail was pointed right at his windows. I was lucky not to be fired. The pretty girl??? I don't remember.
