I joined ONA in 1969 and was based in New York 
that first year.  When they opened the base in 
Los Angeles in 1970 I was part of the first wave 
to be based there.  

Most of us were from Los Angeles and had been 
recruited there. I flew until February of 1973 
when I left to get married (still married to the 
same man).  It has been nice to re-connect with 
many from the LA base at the reunions in Lake 
Tahoe.

My European trips usually took us to London or 
Frankfurt.  There were occasional trips to Oslo, 
Geneva and Athens.  I did a lot of MAC trips to 
Yokota, Japan and the turn-arounds to Ben Hua or 
Da Nang.  Those were nice since we would be based 
in Tachikawa, Japan for the month and able to 
travel to other parts of the country.  

I was able to attend the Worlds Fair in Osaka in 
1972.  

Many, many fond memories … some wild, some special.

I never throw anything away.  I came across my ID 
card, my graduation diploma, the Department of 
Defense card and a postcard of the three aircraft 
in use at the time I flew.  I also worked a trip 
to Pisa and actually was able to go up into the 
tower.  The photo is of myself, Gail Bush and 
Barbara Dial.  The photo in the galley is myself 
and Karla Magnuson.  The picture in Bin Hua or 
Da Nang was taken by someone else but is from 
left to right: MaryAnn Pryor, Brenda Spenser?, 
Marilyn Haywood, Angelika Wolfert, Linda Graves, 
Maryellen Droge and Joanne Staebler.  

I may not have all the spelling right.  
I have more photos that I can scan but these 
seem to catch the essence of those days.

Greetings from Marilyn
