on a lighter note...

One of my many military occupations was aviation crew chief/ aero scout/ navigator/ authorized unauthorized co-pilot/ and pretty much everything but pilot in command on the Bell helicopters- OH58 models. I did have a brain fart once and crewed a hey, I learned to stay assigned to the O Hs. I was Airborne and Air Assault qualified, we repelled, hung under, (both heuys and Blackhawks), (climbed a ladder secured to the CH47 models) jumped from heuys,Blackhawks, and CH47 models and "dragonfly" (I have forgotten it's Army designation ) while in flight. Crewed a Cobra S model once, that was exciting, I ended up transferring to another unit before the rest of the Cobras arrived to the aviation unit.

To me there's nothing more exhilarating than flying. Everyone has their own opinion, but I look at aircraft as:
Jets are like race cars
Prop planes are like pickup trucks choppers are sports cars

Flying NAP of the Earth in a chopper is more thrilling than riding the wildest roller coaster, especially when you fly with a Vietnam War combat pilot.
So you have been trained for the helicopter feral hog hunts in Texas? Can't imagine how much a Vietnam vet would like to fly those clients.
 
Ray Liotta died today. His character in Goodfellas may have been the impetus for the best meme ever.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
