Helicopter traffic reports

[Kevin Vahey]

I got to know Chip as he like many would hang out in the Steve Fredericks
studio and then go to Ken's.

Kevin O'Keefe was on vacation and Chip filled in. Rex Trailer was supposed
to be the pilot but there was a last minute change.

I 'believe' Rex owned the copter in question.
