Actually, the show was called "Dogfighting" and it reminded me that I wanted the "book". I am also looking for copies of the Ault Report that established Top Gun. Pappy, Rats! I guess I would never trade, sell, loan any of the stuff I have from my heroes. I have Gallands book and it is signed. I also have Ralls book which is signed too. I have tons of stuff with Robin Olds signature as well. He flew with a friend of mine in his T-33 and afterwards, we spent the better part of evening drinking and listening to his stories..and then more drinking! Great guy!! I have a current issue HGU-55/P helmet with the signatures of the following: Tommy Hayes Gabby Gabreski Pete Peterson Bruce Carr Tex Hill Joe Foss Robert L Scott Robin Olds Chuck Yeager Bud Anderson Paddy Barthrop (BoB ace) Billy Drake (BoB ace) Bob Goebles Rene Burtner (long story) Paul Olson Tom Landry (yes..the Dallas Cowboys coach..also B-17 driver) Bob Morgan (Memphis Belle) Phil Ardery (B-24 pilot who flew in Ploesti and started the KY ANG) A few others that I cannot remember right now. Sometime early next year I am off to Germany to interview Gunther Rall for an article. Now, I would like to add Boots to that list as well!

A new cluster of Tees just opened up and are empty. Accomodations at my place are complimentary.

I checked the price of the edm700 online at Aircraft Spruce. Although it sounds like a handy device, at around 2 grand, it is not in my budget. Alcor makes a single probe analog kit for around $225. There is also a sigtronics digital egt for around the same amount. So, the big question now, is where to put the probe.

A very good friend of mine took EDO and Kenmore to China and made it all work. It was interesting to watch happen. Always Yakin, Doug Sapp -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Aviatre@aol.com Sent: Saturday, October 22, 2005 11:03 AM To: yak-list@matronics.com Subject: Yak-List: edo floats I copied this from the AOPA website, and I thought it might be of interest to the group Historic floats to be made in China Seaplane floats that were first manufactured in the United States in 1925 by Edo Aircraft and used to set speed and endurance records or contribute to historic exploration are now made in China. The present Edo Floats division of Kenmore Air of Kenmore, Washington, near Seattle does its manufacturing at an existing aircraft manufacturing plant in Nanchang, China. The original Edo Corporation now manufactures high-tech products for military and space applications. ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 06:19:54 PM PST US From: "Roger Kemp" Subject: Re: Yak-List: No Guts, No Glory Well the closest I can come to that is a signed copy of Enola Gay (Gen Paul Tibbets-his son was a patient of mine), Yeager ( Gen Chuck Yeager - came an spoke to my squadron once), God is My Co-pilot ( Gen Robert Scott - was once my patient. Had to sew his arm up after he cut it pretty badly on constentina wire he was stringing around his back yard fence in Sun City. Someone had come over his backyard fence and had broken into his home. " I can't shoot the Son Of A Bitch because I can't have a gun in Sun City but I can sure see that he cuts his balls off trying to climb over my fence if he ever comes back.") and Fox Two ( Commander Randy Cunningham. He was CC of the Top Gun fighter weapons school at Miramar when my squadron went there to whip up on some F-14 tom kitties. He had the book there for sale, so bought one and got him to sign it). That is my collection of aviation memorabilia. Doc ----- Original Message ----- From: Subject: Re: Yak-List: No Guts, No Glory In a message dated 10/23/2005 3:23:52 A.M.
