Default How is Norma?

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph's Hospital. She timidly asked, "Is it
possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?" The
operator said, "I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and room number
of the patient?"

The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said,
"Norma Findlay, Room 302." The operator replied, "Let me put you on hold
while I check with the nurse's station for that room."After a few minutes,
the operator returned to the phone and said, "I have good news. Her nurse
just told me that Norma is doing well.. Her blood pressure is fine; her
blood work just came back normal and her physician, Dr.. Cohen has
scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow."

The grandmother said, "Thank you. That's wonderful. I
was so worried. God bless you for the good news." The operator replied,
"You're more than welcome.. Is Norma your daughter?"

The grandmother said, "No, I'm Norma Findlay in Room
302. No one tells me ****."

Wow, that's her. My name was on her canopy rail at Udorn RTAFB '70-'71. The crew chief lent her to me on occasion. Great to see she made it though the war. Where was this taken? Is she still around?

according to http://thephantomshrine.co.uk/Databases/f4-serials.txt
66-8705 was withdrawn from use in 1989.
The picture in the post was taken in 1982 and can be found here.....

Tried to get rid of the blue cast on The Grape, and sharpened the picture up a little bit.

Andy,
Where does your interest in F-4's come from?

It just happens to be THE BEST LOOKING (jet powered) warbird of all time in my estimation.
I just really like aircraft, not a pilot or airframe/powerplant type, just fascinated by planes.
I really do prefer piston engined planes, especially round engined ones, but there's just
something about an F4 that makes it sinister looking no matter what angle you look at it from.
All in all, from what I've been able to read, it was one helluva weapons platform......
Andy
