[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1841803, member: 18945"] Did you meet Wishbone? He was from Tucumcari. (Tucumcari was also the name of one of American Navy's 1st successful hydrofoil ships and among the 1st to use a gas turbine (jet) engine. An extremely fast and maneuverable vessel, all weather/high sea state capability was "over 40 kts/hr". I was familiar with it as it was part of course study for the new Spruance class destroyers in the late 70s and one of my classmates had served on [I]Tucumcari [/I]off the coast of Vietnam in the early 70s.)
