And to think I used to make parachute jumps out of your perfectly good aircraft!  Of course they were Hueys but they provided a reasonably stable platform.  Good luck on exiting an Apache!

Dropped a few of you guy's out of my Huey, way back when. Was an experence, lot of work getting prepped for it and then putting things back together when we were done.

Hey Grandad John! I wonder if maybe one of your old hueys might be out at the Los Alamitos airfield here at work. Seems we got plenty, and i dunno why. But they are most definately from the "way back when" era.

Warmest regards,

Could be, have had a hard time tracking them after they left my last unit. Do have to admit that I spent most of my time in C/M model gunships though

I'll be there!  Just found out we get out of here in either July or August and then I'm out to WAATS for six weeks for the Alpha course.  After that, I'll be stationed at EAATS permanently (or until our Apaches go away Angry [:(!]).  See ya there!

I can vouch for that! My Wife and i were out at WATTS about maybe a year and a half ago. But we would take the heat of Tucson over the overcrowding of Southern California any day of the week! besides, we love it there in Arizona!Cool [8D]

Looks like my plans may have changed as well.  I may start CAMS on 29Apr.  I am still trying to get confirmation from the unit but it looks like I got a 'not too' shortfall.  It would be nice to get this out of the way ASAP.  I should be able to confirm it today or tomorrow.

Gotta love this NOTA crap.  Looks like I'm gonna be back in PA in July instead of September and who knows when the heck I'm gonna get out to AZ.  At this point I'm hoping they'll take all of us Longbow guys and just give us an intra-unit qualification course.

Hey guys! Just dropping a line to say hey. Been at EAATS for the last few weeks, and i've seen the sun maybe about 2 or 3 times. I've got a sunroof on my rental car that i'm just dying to use, but the weather hasn't been working with me much.

 

   So is anyone else from here in EAATS with me here? Sure doesn't seem to be much closeby, but at least i found the closest Starbucks! Yessssss!!!!

   Anyways, i hope ya guys are doing well, and i'll check back from time to time. And to the fellow Apache guys, my heart will always belong to the gunship- regardless of my MOS!Pirate [oX)]

Warmest regards,

Roger
