Here ya go

I wanted to fly helicopters as far back as my high school days. Managed to pass the Army flight school and have never looked back. 42 years of operating those wonderful machines.

I guess my most memorable flight was a dusk/dark extraction of LRRPs on ropes (McGuire Rig) under fire. After reaching a secure area, we landed and got the Rangers on board. During the flight back to base someone produced a bottle of Jack Daniels. The one time I broke the "bottle-to-throttle" rule.
