I still can remember going up in the P2V Neptune for the 1st time and being ask to be the "forward observer" and crawling down the access tunnel and coming out to sit in that chair which gave you the feeling that you were suspended out in front of the aircraft and having the feeling that I was just about to fall to my death. We were flying at around 9,000 feet over Catalina Island and remember seeing how beautiful it was from the air. Thursday, March 14th, 2013 at 1:28 am. GALANTE, PeteE-Mail/BIO Update Request Posted!
