[Milsurplus] Tom Kneitel

[jmfranke]

Membership in the Association of Old Crows requires the ability to pay your 
dues, that is all.  I have been an Old Crow for over a quarter century.  I 
did fly AEW (airborne early warning) with the Navy, but that was incidental 
not a requirement.  I was aircrew on the E-1B Tracer (Willy-Fudd) and the 
E-2B Hawkeye.
