Welcome to today's tribute to Mixer!
Report detailing the loss of WO1's Regalado and Wilson.
The 174th AHC "Dolphin" aircraft was resupplying artillery fire bases on a very windy day. Due to wind conditions and aircraft cargo, the crew had to make their approach in the same direction, four times in a row. On the fifth approach, the aircraft was shot down with all souls lost; the crew of four and a single artilleryman from the S-4 section.
To find out why all us old helicopter pilots are hard of hearing hit this "starter trigger" to hear what it sounds like to start a huey from the cockpit. Ignore the initial "wop-wops", that sounds like another aircraft running closeby. To get the full effect use headphones and turn the sound up. UH-1 Starter trigger
SCOUTS OUT!
Morning person. ;-}
LOL! Me, too. I don't make it much past 9 pm on the weekdays and 11:00 pm on the weekends.
I would have had this up at 4 am, but the server that I store my graphics on was down all night. I'm so glad they got their problems straightened out!
Phew! :-)
SCOUTS OUT!
It's mornin isn't it?
I need coffee as soon as I wake up, I'm on my 5th cup....
LOL...of course! My sweet hubby .45MAN is exactly the same way. Morning routine:
1) Feet hit floor
2) Apply "muscle memory" to make way in darkness to kitchen
3) Grind beans
4) Apply more "muscle memory" to start the coffee pot
5) Take first sip
6) Open eyes!
LOL!
