Old Hooker ?

Interesting! Thanks for the info, PE64 and Bill.

I think I got here just a little too late to be able to enjoy the input of many of these great past FSM members.

A Chinook was his avatar.

Lol I can just imagine 

Hooks were a nic name for Chinook's and Frank aka Old Hooker was a crew chief with the group of heavily armed ch-47s called Guns a go go.

Yes Frank was a huge source of useful information regarding those birds. 

I haven't a clue about whom you guys speak, but the thread title certainly got my attention.

Fly fast, fly low, turn left. Yes please pass along any info.

I'm really glad that you brought him up. That was a period here where there were a lot of vets who had good first hand knowledge of Viet Nam era operations.

I miss Rex (Tarnship), Squeekie (sp?), HansVHammer (his dad and three uncles), Harve (Dirtbag).

We still have Ikar and a couple of others.
