    Jim Martin comments (15 March 2022): In looking up the date I had to do with this Lockheed 10A I have run across your site. I smiled to see that it still exists somewhere. Heres my connection with it. I was drafted into the Army in April 1963 just 3 days after I passed my Private Check ride. Going through Basic at Ft. Leonard Wood MO about half way through I had a weekend leave (all of noon Sat through 1800 Sunday). Since I was from a Chicago burb I bought a ticket for a little relief. I told Mr. A.E.Glore that I had just gotten that License to which he responded something to the effect great you sit up front with me and you can do some of the chores. Well of course he took off but once we headed up toward St. Louis(and after I had mopped up the water coming in around the leaky windshield - it was raining some) he said here, now you can keep it on this heading at this alt. doing so we eventually (2:10) wound up at MDW. He could not contact the tower so he told me to keep it at this alt. and do 360s around the airport. I did so as he went back to the radio rack and twisted it is nose or something making it work. After landing and taxiing to an FBO and before I left to be with my folks he said to bring my Log book along for the trip back. Dinner at home, slept in my bed, and returned to MDW Sunday for the return trip which he again took off and I flew it back to Ft. Wood. Yes he put 4:50 Dual x-C in my log book. While circling over MDW and Glore back at the radios I looked back at the other guys and saw them looking at me through eyes about the size of golf balls as they did not know me. I was a fun trip and eased basic a bunch. This 82 year old with only about 850 hours does not fly PIC anymore but worked for Wisc. Aeronautics for 20 years and have volunteered at AirVenture for 42 years to date. Yes I still stop and look up when one of those gravity defying machines goes by - big or little. If I get out near where 46V is I will stop by.
