 My name is Ted Wallhofer, I was a flight engineer with ONA '68 - '78. I flew on the L-188' for about a year and then up to the DC-8's. While I did most of my flights to Europe and points east, I did have a few to Hawaii. I was off on sick leave for three years due to a head on collision (73-75) but was able to return to work thereafter. As a matter of fact three of us returned in the same month after a lengthy absence, Bill Beavers, Dave Clapp & myself. After ONA I went to fly with Capital, till they too went belly up. My last job was flight engineer instructor to the crews of a Saudia DC-8-72, combo royal and hospital aircraft, which only flew the royal family. After my return home, I stayed on the farm and raised cattle and still am. Was able to do this because my wife, an RN continued to work at a local hospital until 2000. It was then discovered that she had AML (a form of leukemia) and I lost her in December of 2001.  Lockheed L-188 Electra N284F at JFK in 1973  The Baseler Eck, FRANKFURT, GERMANY!

Since then, I still fool around with the horses,
cows and miniature donkeys, as well as keeping in
touch with our children and grandchildren.
All of this is here in Greenville, Alabama.
