If the condition lasts longer than 36 hours, I'm calling a hooker!

Too often the mother of the glamor goddess is a hottie in her own right. I never said that I don't lust after the beautiful pre-geriatrics, just that those girls look like someone's daughter. The father in me would reach in some guy's throat and jerk out his dick because of the knowledge of what they are thinking. I'm glad that I was never "scratch and sniff" kind of guy. ;D I most heartedly concur Tuttus, and not just glamour goddesses’ mothers either. But, I fully identify with the “someone’s daughter” reference, although at times I force the notion away – consider, even their mothers are daughters of another. Oh, heck, I’ve got two very pretty girls, 15 and 16, all ripening up much too quickly for their father. When I viewed my girls after returning from this latest shitty trip – Holy Moley! I’m a little frightened for them, thinking to myself “Oh, please God, cup these little ladies in your palm and protect them, and feel free to strike down with lightening any boy that would encroach.” I don’t mind eye candy, it’s rather neat. But that’s nothing compared to what resides within.

Cadet Volunteers for the Flying Circus, form on the right. Staggered right for departure - Tight enough? Close enough for government work I think. Just don't go slapping rotor blades in flight, it might prove entertaining for the bad guys on the ground.

Cuz was flying an Blackhawk with a MoANG unit in Iraq. He will complete his 20 this summer and flys a "life flight" for the U of Mo Hospital in Columbia as a civilian. They gave him his job back after 16 months on active duty. Man, that makes me proud! Cadet Volunteers for the Flying Circus, form on the right. Staggered right for departure - Tight enough?

That was in Saudi Arabia - I deployed with a bunch of nuggets. Tried to train them as best as possible before deployment - but had to follow up with each there, then force feed em day/night/NVG dust landings, tactical mission planning, more dust landings, close formation work. Geese they were sloppy initially, I didn't want to be within 10 rotor disks at first. But you see, after a few months work, I was more confident in them. Glad Cuz got back safe and sound. I still have a few friends still flying there - and a couple drivers I knew that won't be returning home. Hey Tittus? Your Cuz a Hawk driver? He adores the Hawk? Say yes - rofl

Mac truck as for as handling. Stacy Guilford. WO3 If you met him. Mac Truck handling? What did Stacy fly prior to the Hawk? Hey, granted when it loaded to 24,500 lbs with a 9 grand sling load under your butt - its a pig. But, I've lways loved the responsiveness even loaded with a squad of grunts.

On the Blackhawk. It was just a good civilian introduction piece but it was very informative. I thought of 101 when they spoke of the 300 helo raid into Iraq in 1991 with over 5000 airborne troops. My whole marine time and I never saw a major helo operation. I always wanted to see one of those 40 to 50 bird lifts the old guys (1966-67) boys spoke of. One of my closest friends was sent to Germany when I went to Nam. Jerry was with the Army, a medic. On one exercise some puke managed to get banged up and needed an EVAC. Jerry bandaged the puke and hop on the bird. He was still getting situated when the bird banked left and threw him about 20 feet to the deck. He was hospitalized for back troubles but managed to complete his 20. Unfortunately he is in a wheelchair these days and has lost most movement in his extremities. Jer said the doctors told him that the damage stemmed from that fall back in 1972 along the German/East German border. Have you ever dumped anyone? ;D A retired Engr Col I worked with at the USACHPPM spoke highly of the most spectacular thing he ever saw. While in Vietnam, some 155 piece breeched with a round and had to be evacuated for repair. They had it under a CH54 at about 2000 ft when a strap broke. Vern would always laugh as he described the piece falling, falling, falling, and sticking barrel first 8 foot into a rice paddy. Mac truck as for as handling. Stacy Guilford. WO3 If you met him.

Hey, granted when it loaded to 24,500 lbs with a 9 grand sling load under your butt - its a pig. But, I've lways loved the responsiveness even loaded with a squad of grunts. No I missed it – Dang-it! See, that’s what I get for working. The largest air movement I ever took part in was the staging for the Haiti invasion – Good God, there musta been like over 150 birds, Hawks and Chinooks, that took off for the mosquito infested island of Great Ingaua. But a line of birds in flight of 8 to 10 2 minutes apart to the horizon. But tactically we learned to try and keep flights to no more than 6, especially under NVG’s, over 6 aircraft command, control, and flight safety become an issue. I knew a crazy bastard door gunner from Nam – he said the pilots hovered over a hotel pool at like 30 feet and he jumped out. No, I never dumped anyone – but the cherries close to the open door would get kinda freaked out at 150 mph in a 70 degree bank between trees. The G’s kept em seated…well that and the seat belts. The closest I got to doing anything like that was once returning on a lone NVG mission, my co-pilot hadda take a leak real bad, so I landed in a open field. He unplugged his mic and got out – and I took off with the rotor wash spraying his urine all over him. No real biggie except that the Blackhawk is by operators manual and regulation prohibited flight without two rated pilots. So he was “pissed”, so to speak and shocked I, as an Instructor Pilot would violate regulations. Hey, I figured by the proficiency some of the “rated pilots” demonstrated at times I flew single pilot a lot anyway. Oh, and I almost left my crew chief in an LZ once – fucker got out for some reason – and he knows we only are on the ground for like 3-5 seconds during an infantry assault. ROFL – ya! Nothing like breaking Army stuff! That’s fun
