Yep, that right there has got to be at the top of the fun-meter lsit. Always thought those ADC guys were living it although it ticks me off when I waste a day of calling just to find out they were there days before... But, what the heck, it's all good!

Thanks again to you and your sons for your service. I can tell you from experience that having your kids out there ain't that much of a cake walk for mom and dad either.

God bless.

Sure God's a hunter, he clothed Adam and Eve with skins and told Peter to "kill and eat", didn't He?

Tim: You're right about no cake walk......rather it be me again instead of our kids, meaner now in old age. ;)

The most fun with helicopters we had was seeing this baby coming in with fresh mail! This was pre-internet, email, sat phones and all the neat new stuff. It brought true meaning to the term "Snail Mail"! :lol:

Imagine the fun we could have with this puppy in a few hours around your place.......

Fun with helicopters...haaa, the most fun I ever had with one of those was just off Kodiak Island, Alaska in the winter from the missile deck of an SSBN taking green water over the deck (and down the hatch too). Needless to say, since these vessels are round there was plenty of pitching & rolling.
