Surprised to see the photo of me standing next to a U-10. The four photos in the second row are mine. First two were actually taken at Korat RTAFB, one is a recovery from Laos, and the fourth is taking off at Nam Pong dam.

I am looking for a photo of the California ANG U-10D on floats. It was tested on Clear Lake and flown in Alaska.

I flew a U-10 D, on police missions in the southwest U.S, in the late 1970's. It was a great plane and I miss the fun of flying into 500' strips.I felt very safe in that old bird.

H295JA was not the first plane the company owned, they had all their Navajos first!
