Doh! I read about the helo pilots. For some reason when you mentioned "pilots", I thought of fixed-wing pilots and I thought you were referring to another article.
Thanks and please forgive my temporary insanity.
At least, I hope it's temporary...
I was chaplain for the famous nightstalker helo unit for 3 years of my 20 year career. Not only are they pilots, but these yardbirds call their choppers "airplanes."
They're the greatest group of Americans assembled in this era. Wonderful unit.
NSDQ!!
