as a kid my brother and I got to climb aboard one of the first Navy Seasprites at an airshow at Lakehurst NAS...To this day I still say that the Seasprite was the proto type for all other jet engined helicopters,and that includes Sikorsky and Bell...Kaman was light years ahead of the pack...and I also turned 70 this year ...
I worked at Kaman in Windsor Locks next to Bradley Field from 68 to 72.. Great memories.
I worked in Bloomfield on Cobra Blades and Sheetmetal from 1980-1994.
