[R-390] EAC Contract info in Red Bank Paper

[Marshall Dues (K5MMD)]

Wow, Barry,

You have a good memory.... That was ten years ago.  In 2002 I flew my Van's
RV-6 homebuilt airplane up to Flint, Michigan to attend my 40th high school
reunion, and on the return to Houston, I landed in Lima, Ohio and bought mt
second Collins R-390A from Fair Radio Sales.  It cost $310.00 for a
complete and working radio then.  I lashed that heavy radio to the
copilots' seat and flew it back to Houston, Texas with me.  I remember on
that flight tangling with an 8-engined B-52 heavy bomber at 14,500 feet
over southwest Arkansas, and photographing him as he passed 500 feet below
and to my left.  What a surprise!

Thanks for the memory.
