Road Trip: Fort Rucker, Alabama

Fort Rucker is a U.S. Army post located primarily in Dale County, Alabama, United States. It was named for a Civil War officer, Confederate General Edmund Rucker. The post is the primary flight training installation for U.S. Army Aviators and is home to the United States Army Aviation Center of Excellence (USAACE) and the United States Army Aviation Museum.

The U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence is the dominant military facility at Fort Rucker. Training, doctrine, and testing are all key parts of the Center's mission to develop Army Aviation's capabilities. All Army Aviation training has been undertaken at Fort Rucker since 1973, as well as training of US Air Force and ally helicopter pilots and air crew.

The 110th Aviation Brigade consists of four battalions using three different sites. 1st Battalion, 11th Aviation Regiment, operates and manages air traffic control services for USAACe/Fort Rucker and the National Airspace System.

1st Battalion, 14th Aviation Regiment operates from Hanchey Army Heliport and conducts graduate level training using the AH-64D Apache Longbow and OH-58D Kiowa helicopters. 1st Battalion, 212th Aviation Regiment operates from Lowe Army Heliport and Shell Army Heliport and conducts combat and night operational training, using the OH-58, UH-1, and UH-60 helicopters.

Events in Afghanistan and Iraq have reaffirmed the qualities that caused the creation of Army Aviation in 1942. These qualities included the responsiveness to the needs of the ground commander and commitment to the Soldier in the ground fight. At the same time, Army Aviation – including Army Special Operations Aviation – has played vital and ever-expanding roles across the spectrum of Joint and Combined operations.

Love your car...

I’m praying the current trend continues. Looking at two realtime radar loop sites and the rain around the eye is falling apart on the southwestern side. The winds are slowing quicker than expected and are 125 mph at this time. Still strong and could strengthen again when it moves but it’ll be starting from a weaker point. Good news in my mind.

Wait and pray Gypsy comes through intact. They spent a lot of time working on her and turning her into a real beauty.

Yesterday was the best of the 4 days at Comanche Lake. The campground was empty. No PD vans. It was just me and Gizmo walking the bait house pier and the rocks. We had lots of fun out there.

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Sounds like you and Gizmo had a splendid day at Comanche Lake. Rare that you have the place to yourselves.
