| Here is a pic of the clothes washer we built in the Machine Shop. We built a crank shaft and attached it to the bulkhead behind the lathe. Attached drive end to back spindle of lathe. Had a trash can fitted with a hose to pump out water by using the lathe’s coolant pump. We filled it with a hose from a water spigot. It worked great but you had to be careful that you set lathe on a low RPM. High speed would have clothes all over shop and did some wild destruction. Date of pic was around 1969. |

| 1966 – RF-8 Crusader of VFP-62 Det 42 damaged wing by North Vietnamese 5″ shell. It is a testament to the ruggedness of the RF-8 Crusader and skill of the pilot (Norm Green). | |
