BILL PARKS


Bill & pals during Jeddah duty 

Most of us who flew with Captain Milt 
Marshall and Bob Travelute to Germany 
would know the lady in the Bratwurst 
stand where we always ended up, 
sometimes for hours and sometimes for 
more. I believe she was Russian and 
she would kick the locals off the chairs 
for all us crew men and women. 
The other pictures would be well known 
by anyone flying through Wake Island. 
I have a couple of the old DC 7´s that 
I will send over.

ONA had the nicest FA´s 

But ONA is so far back now I'd have to 
find my old log books up in the loft to 
remember my many days with all those past 
memories. 

I recall doing all that DC-7 PT at Lake 
City Florida, but was furlowed so many 
times I get mixed up with the dates!

Sometimes I tell my experiences while 
flying with Airborne Express and with 
pilots no older than my grandsons and 
I think many times they hardly believed 
me.

I gave up running the old Liberty Ship 
steam engine but hope to visit my old 
Aircraft Carrier Midway this winter out 
in CA. 

I still walk some 2 1/2 miles per day and 
work out in the gym in the afternoons. 
I have many grand kids and even 5 or 6 
great grandkids so I keep busy. 





Boyd Michael´s Birthday Celebration!



I was F.E. on Boyd's 50th birthday flight. 
While over the Atlantic the FA's called him 
back into the cabin and 250 pax's sang him 
happy birthday and gave him a collection from 
them all. Meanwhile the Co Pilot had fixed it 
up so when he clicked the mike all flights over 
the Atlantic again sang happy birthday over 
the radio. The guy had happy tears in his eyes 
and where ever he is I'll bet he remembers 
that day.
Hail for George in Tokyo!
Leo, Bill & Paul in Tokyo!

A chopping experience ...
Aircraft carrier USS Midway


“Midway Magic” is a historical fact.  It was a 
term known throughout the Navy as the USS Midway 
steamed through a 47-year career of service to 
the country.  Imagine, a carrier that was 
commissioned in 1945 and served as a flagship in 
Desert Storm in 1991.
  
No other carrier served as long as the USS Midway.


I recall breaking my foot up in Alaska in 69 
and Dick Hall had to continue my trip over to Nam. 
He had just purchased a considerable amount of 
king crab as he was expecting to return home. 
The many Haji trips plus the ship hotel and the 
rocking boat are also fond memories. 

So enough now, will review my log books and come 
up with some stories, I have many and miss those 
good old days. 

I wore so many different uniforms but ONA was 
always the best! 

Plus they had the best FA 's ....
