We moved to Freeport LI when I was in 6th grade, then N. Babylon, then Smithtown! (My dad liked to move) I worked on F-105s at Republic Aviation in Farmingdale LI in the mid 60’s and Macarthur Airport (among others) while getting my commercial pilot’s license. Spent time at the Grumman facility in Calverton where the F-14s were tested.
