I worked on the Chuckie off and on, while I was going to school to get my A&P, from 1989 to 1992. I went into the Army working as a 63-B. (Aircraft engine repairer) My belated wife and I really had good times with people involved with the Chuckie. The hanger get togethers were a lot of fun for us with our new family and all. Thank yall for all the fond memories.
