i dont know what to say, i worked with Doug until the first of December training AH-64D pilots in the army. Doug was such a great person and such a pleasure to work with. he decided to move over to headland flying EMS to have a better schedule (7 on, 7 off) so he and his wife could travel more. i obviously dont know his detailed medical history, but he was a very healthy fit individual for 61 years old. I never would have guessed that this could happen. im thankful that he was able to alert the med crew and land the helicopter relatively unscathed. the fact that he fought the helicopter all the way to the ground during a major medical event is by far the best way to describe the kind of genuine person Doug was. visitation will be Saturday January 4th here in the Dothan area. from all of us in 3rd platoon, we truly miss you and everyone is proud to call you a friend!
