    Welcome, thank you for your service. Ex Air Force here 1985-90, Security Policeman. Had a Chinook land very close to me once at Wueschheim Air Station, Germany, simulated nuke warhead air lift. Very memorable experience.

    Welcome you were long out of the service I am sure before I took my First $hithook ride. You guys are definitely a different breed. One of your Fellow rotorheads actually dropped one of our M102 in a training exercise (stupid high winds and the crew didn't want to the load but you know Brass)! It was a thing of beauty. Fell to the middle of a bog/ pond. Didn't see that piece for about 3 months!
