My grandfather, Naval Aviator #711, told me about standing up
in the cockpit
and peeing over the side of his plane.
That brings to mind of an old gentleman that I met in
Mississippi many years ago. We were discussing radar and
electronics careers and he said back in his day, he was the
radar. He stood up in the nose cockpit of the seaplane and
scanned with binoculars. I think he said that he was flying out
of Kaneohe, Hawaii in about 1924.
