We can't thank the MOHAWK TECHNOLOGIES crew enough for their expertise at disassembling & loading #926 for its trip home to Oregon. Kudo's to Paul & Greg Pefley, Hank Seeley, Sid Morgan, Steve Hauss, & Eddie Gonzales.
Thanks to his light touch from years of crane operational experience & his trademark cigar, Sid lowered #926 gently onto it's cradle with the care of a mother laying her newborn in a crib for the night.
A special "shout out" to Hank Seeley for his Mohawk expertise! With years of prior experience with the Grumman factory & more years yet with Mohawk Tech, Hank knows Mohawk like no one else!
Awesome banners from Mark & Paul at Signs Now in Tigard, Oregon.

A special and heartfelt thanks to the Salem Oregon Elks Lodge #336 for their long time support of the Oregon National Guard and the US Military! Their support for the #926 Project has been exceptional!
Special thanks also to the Army Aviation Association of American (Quad-A) and its Oregon Trail Chapter for their considerable & ongoing support for the Mohawk #926 Project.
