Jack Carson: Whiting Field, TH-1E and L, was where I earned my wings. (HT-18, CDR Tilt was CO ... always thought that was a great name for a helicopter squadron CO that flew a semi rigid rotor system ... )
Good training there, I recall the stuck pedals training as being one where the IP's were very, very careful. (I was there when a Huey had the tail boom fall off and all of the Huey's were grounded due to them finding corrosion in those magical four bolts on more than a few of the birds in the hangar. No Xs until new bolts could be had).
