For many years Harry Hester has told the story of how he has worn out a million parachuts.......by sitting on them. Well here is the proof!!
Harry Hester's Serv-Air Aviation Corp permit. He was a flight instructor for Serv-Air in the early 1950's. His uniform and other information is on display in the upstairs lobby area of the Kinston, NC airport.

TRIVIA!!! Now for the next few pictures I would like for you to try to identify these airplanes and approximately the year the picture was taken. Can you guess the location, too? Good Luck!!
Email Us with your answers, if you know!!!
One more trivia for you. Do you know this 18 year old serviceman?
