PC Lonnie Collins at work. Lonnie sent
in most of the pictures on this page. Thanks Lonnie. Now we need some help
identifying the rest of the people here. A more current photo of
Lonnie is available in the "Where are
they now?" pages. |

One of the crew was a private pilot and many
made trips to the outer Hawaiian Islands in this rented Piper Cherokee Six. Hundreds
of photos were taken on those trips. Lets send some more copies of them in fellows!
Here Chuck See flies the plane as co-pilot. |

A popular destination in the Cherokee was
the Big Island and the volcanoes. Here one intrepid flyer stands on the edge of the
2000 foot drop off into one of the craters. Anybody remember who this is? John
_?_ from Detroit? |

He seems to have landed on his feet.
Here PC James Tripp and John are walking on one of the lava flows in the crater. |

Those that survived the tour of the
volcanoes saw some great views of Hawaii from the small plane. Here is some of the
typical scenery on the Leeward side of Oahu on the return trip. |

Almost as dangerous as the volcano viewing
is being this tall and working on a destroyer. |
