As HIHU knows....the full story of that day is what really makes it special....the set up for the day was magic and as most things the 509 Crew takes on....was done in a splendid manner.

Perhaps if he thinks it right....he might explain why Phil had to make a go around and return for landing.

It is one of the reasons I admire Phil Connolly and so very much appreciate what he has done with Miss Jo, Huey 509.

Every time I see the names on the cargo door....I get the same reaction he got that day as he was making the initial approach to land. That is not just another Helicopter and what Phil and the Crew are doing is a very good thing.

Phil, his Wife Jo, all the Crew, are special people!

That my very last helicopter ever flight in a helicopter was in 509 makes it all the more special to me. There could not be a better way for a Vietnam Veteran Helicopter Pilot to end a flying career.....none at all!

Good on Ya, Guys! Thanks Phil, for letting me a part of it.
