Duane Delk - Rest In Peace

http://www.onacrew.com/ONAbasicDuaneDelk.html

Duane Delk also flew at times in our 41st Squadron as a guest C-141 Flight Engineer.

He was assigned to one of the reserve units there at Charleston, SC. Many of our 41st

MAS Alumni Association members knew him and his son, Dennis. Dennis was a

Loadmaster assigned to the 41st for some years in the 70s. Dennis is a member of

our Alumni Association (of which I am president). I have also notified our many members

of Duane's death. Some have responded. Several live in and near Summerville and

may well attend the funeral service. Summerville is where Sigrid and I lived for 23

years before moving to Florida in 2002. Greetings from Sigrid & Lee at email leewaters@mindspring.com

TOM SINGFIELD HORSHAM UK - I am an aviation author in the UK. I found your ONA crew website after looking for references to US Navy VP-45 Squadron. I am writing a book on the 100 year history of aviation in Bermuda and would like to contact aircrew that were based there with the Navy. One of your members is ALVIN QUACK. He sent some great pictures of flying boats in Bermuda and I would like to contact him so I can get some copies for possible use in my book. Could you contact him and ask him to contact me please? By the way, I probably controlled a few ONA aircraft when I was an Air Traffic Controller at Gatwick many years ago! I certainly have some pictures of ONA aircraft at Gatwick. Many thanks, Tom Singfield, Aviation Author, Horsham, UK

Publish your complaint on Youtube and hit it bigtime! This is really, really good. If you've ever had problems with your luggage, you will love this. Don't get mad, make a creative video and send to YouTube. Guess it works. Made me agree to think twice about my choices. A musician named Dave Carroll recently had difficulty with United Airlines. United apparently damaged his treasured Taylor guitar ($3500) during a flight. Dave spent over 9 months trying to get United to pay for damages caused by baggage handlers to his custom Taylor guitar. During his final exchange with the United Customer Relations Manager, he stated that he was left with no choice other than to create a music video for YouTube exposing their lack of cooperation. The Manager responded : "Good luck with that one, pal." So he posted a retaliatory video on YouTube. The video has since received over 5.5 million hits. United Airlines contacted the musician and attempted settlement in exchange for pulling the video. Naturally his response was: "Good luck with that one, pal." Taylor Guitars sent the musician 2 new custom guitars in appreciation for the product recognition from the video that has lead to a sharp increase in orders.
