All, especially the 46 Bubbas

Unfortunately, the Flying Leatherneck Museum in San Diego is closing.

There is a distinct possibility that we, the Fort Worth Aviation Museum could be getting some of their air craft.

In particular, Lady Ace, the 46 that pulled the ambassador off the roof of the Saigon Embassy in '75.

Any of you that would like to make a donation to help move her from SD to FW and save her, please contact me.

S/F!

Mike

Belay last all.

Others have spoken for the Lady Ace helo, and it is not on the FWAM acquisition list.

It would have been a nice addition but is not to be.

That’s sad Mike. Remember the 2002 reunion in Pensacola where a crew flew it in from DC I think it was. Slick gave ‘em permission to paint it green. What a sight. The HAC from the 1975 flight was present there as well!!!! Good guys all of ‘em!
Would been a great addition.
