My old man was a master flight test mechanic at the old willow road factory and felt quite safe with the pilots like Bruce jones and Larry Lape as well as
Dick Peck when testing the hillers.He had only one close call in15 years when a mechanical fuel pump sheared it's shaft and they did a hard landing at the vodka plant.
You are very lucky. As many Hillers as the army had, there aren't very many around. There was quite the collection of them that showed up for VC in 2006 though.
