Young & Impressionable eh. One of my few rides in a helo was being taken off that day in 1966 in an Iroquois from nearby NAS Nowra. The Bay had become so rough that we were unable to board the workboats to be taken back to CRESWELL. Getting airborne for the first time from that HUGE deck was awesome - I was sold - count me in.
I was 17.5 years old at the time.
