<LOL> I'll give you the "tip strike" on the grounds that it didn't come closer than about 1/3 of the way in on a couple of blades... I saw the piccies too... a few years ago... they were quite impressive...
You have me with Bud P and TT... Old brain issue I guess... PM me please.. because I'm pretty sure I knew them but time takes it's toll...
And Andy and Chris were both good guys... Andy was always "hyper" and Chris was never really a "looney"... Well, sometimes he might have appeared so... but they were both effective and likable crew members and men. I'll stand by that statement... There were a lot worse and a few better in each of their trades.
