Thank you again for another touching post, ladtx. If there is anything good about today's date 30+ years ago, it's that there were only three fallen (chopper) pilots. FR, and the Finest especially, is very fortunate that you were among those who made it home. Thanks so much for the personal touch you include with these tributes.
FWIW, tomorrow's thread would also be a good one for these tributes, if you have the time to work it in.
