I rubbed his shoulder raw hoping such luck would rub off on to me.
I know him , and remembered the story of the HC-16 'Bullfrogs' CH-46E catastrophic failure believe he was Co at the time. He was also a Seawolf during Vietnam war, HAi Chairman for a while over a decade ago. Then ended up as VP sales of Bell mainly concentrating in the European and Mid East and then concentrating on Far east before leaving Bell.
