Safety First

SSGT E.J. Landry (left), Bill Mertens in the jammer driver's seat, and 'Chaz' wields the hammer to adjust this AIM-7. 'Chaz' was an appropriate nickname for this weapons specialist who bore a striking resemblance to convicted mass murderer Charles Manson; some would argue his behavior was similar as well. A favorite line for anyone being hassled was, "I know Chaz - and Chaz could have you killed."

 

The gentleman at far right is another whose name escapes me at the moment.
