A graduate of class 63-3W, Billy served first with
the 121st AHC in 64-65, then after Hook transition
he served with the 205th ASHC in 68 - 69.
His e-mail address is talltex21@earthlink.net and
I think Lois and family would appreciate hearing
from fellow helicopter crewmen.
Billy was an FAA Designee Check Airman, and
gave me my ATP and CFII check ride way back in
1981. He was modest in all his manner, and quiet
in his ways. He was a Patriot and a great
American. Billy was my friend and I shall miss
him.
