Hello all
First I would like to thank cliffnemo for pointing me to this web site. A little about myself. My father, James E. Castleman, was a flight instructor at No1 B.F.T.S. in Terrell Texas until the end of WWII. He continued flying until he lost his life in an airplane crash in 1967. I received my pilots license in 1973 and logged more than 8000 flight hours before retiring from aviation in 2006. I joined the Dallas Police Department in 1971, spent the first eight years in radio patrol before being transfered to the Helicopter Unit. There I spent the next twenty two years flying Bell 47 and Jet Ranger helicopters. During this period I also flew part time as a Corporate Pilot for a large company in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
It is a pleasure to get to read your messages on this site.

My best to all.
Al Castleman
