Hi Rudy, Thank you very much for the nice words about my Dart III airplane. It was and still is an excellent flying airplane. I lived in Japan for 2 years, 1957 and 1958. I was stationed at Chitose Air Base, Hokkaido Japan. I was flying F-86D interceptors. I was there for one year and then was transfered to Tokyo and flew C-47s, Gooney Birds. I was then transferred to Okinawa for another year and flew F86Ds and F-102s. I learned a lot in Japan, I leaned 3 Great Things, "Patience, Patience and Patience. The enclosed pictures were taken at a Control Line Contest at Chitose Air Base. It was a Japanese-American event and did VERY GOOD. Thanks again for the memories. Col. Chuck Winter
