AVIATION STORIES

5DME have several veterans and experienced people from the aviation industry that we talk to from time to time. The things they tell us often amaze. We would like to present our account of some of these "Aviation Stories" for your education and enjoyment.

Please be aware this is a new section as of 17th June 2008.

We have placed a story here to get the area going.

We will add to the collection as soon as information is transcribed.
