I also started with a PT-17 .049. It belonged to a good friend. We were stationed at Offutt AFB Nebraska. We tried to fly it on the parade grounds, but were politely asked not to since Genereal's Row bordered the parade grounds. I was also stationed at Clark, but never saw anyone fly there.

After leaving the military in 1970 I bought my first profile control line plane, a Buster. Don't remember who made it. My older brother and I began flying at the North Shore club at Danvers Mass agrecultural schools' soccer field. We flew combat with the streamers for a few years before I left the area and headed west. My favorite plane was an ME-109. My last plane before I left was a Nobler.

That was a fun time. I now fly R/C 60 sized planes and am still learning.
