| For those of you who fondly remember the 6,000 Pound Dog Whistle and the White Rocket, I dug these out of my archives and turned them into PDF files. They are both several hundred MB, so the same advice applies; right-click on them and download them to your own machine. These are only indirectly associated with the Caribou, but it is how many of us arrived at the C-7A. | |
