I hope you can salvage yours - - it looks like it was in really nice shape.

Hard to keep those air cooled engines running in the AZ desert in August!  $500 was a whole months pay for a 1LT back then.
Man, you were RICH!  I was earning about $150/month then.  Damned officers! :X
That included my quarter's allowance and subsistance pay, while you were being provided with luxury living accomodaions and sumptuous gourmet meals......Living like a king!:dude:
