ONLY THE BEST

The hike to visit and place a memorial at the site of Col Herbert Haws crash site took place after the August 2003 meeting. After a half hour drive the party headed up a gravel logging road they headed down a new skidder track which led to a point within a quarter mile of the GPS coordinates that were made this past spring. Over the years loggers and locals had hauled most of the aircraft wreckage away as the metal was more valuable than the timber in the crash area. Today we recognize the site as a military grave and followed the ethics of finding, photographing, and replacing any wreckage found. We still found many small parts including some gears, rods, hydraulic lines, electric motors, and metal frames and other distorted sheet metal. The afterburner pipe is located some distance from the site where it probably dropped of a salvage truck in the past. Our tremendous online directory has afforded us the opportunity to reopen with a new audiance and we are thankful for the opportunity. The state of Maine Geological Survey has given us this golden opportunity to remind the state of its previous contributions to the efforts of this country.
