Sad to report that Harold McMurran, a fixture at Moontown Airport (3M5) for many years passed away on Christmas Day at age 98. To us "younger" folks, it seemed like Harold had been around running the maintenance shop at Moontown forever. Harold was an A&P/IA and had a steady stream of aircraft in and out of his shop including at least one RV condition inspection that I know of. As recently as this last year, He was still turning wrenches on planes that came in. He had a goal to still be a working A&P at age 100!
But besides all that, Harold was a bit of a celebrity around here in that he was both a D-Day and Battle of the Bulge veteran. A few years ago, the son of a Moontown pilot sat down with Harold and interviewed him for a short video.
Well worth your time to watch.
