It had to be around 93 maybe 94. I lived in Palmdale so the drive was kind of far although the program was pretty cool.Yes they do! They primarily fly on Tuesdays and Sundays. When were you last here at Los Al? I've been here since 96. A lot of things have changed in the past ten years.
Thank you for the warm welcome. Been flying UH-60's since May 04. Deployed to Iraq flying Hawk's from Dec 04 and returned Nov 05. Before that flew UH-1H's in flight school in 1990. Flew AH-1 Cobra's from 1991-2001, OH-58 Kiowa's from 2001-2002, and then AH-64 Apache's from 2002-2004. Sure wish they were a P-47 or P-51 instead.
DerAdlerIstGelant,
Sorry took to so long to reply, was working with the Air Force in the San Francisco area. I'm with B Co. 1/140 AVN. We replaced B Co. 2/1 AVN 1st ID at Speicher in Feb 05. Started ripping with them in Jan 05. We were the guys living in the old tents over in LSA 10. We received brand new CHU's in Apr 05. They built them right behind the BN TOC and Co. CP tents. When I get home from work I will send some pictures that are on my notebook. We probably saw each other there.
DerAdlerIstGelandet,
Just read my last post, yes we were the 60 unit from Cali. The ones with the crazy BC! She was relieved for cause in Apr 05 Thank God!
We managed to fly 9000 hrs and 16 combat air assaults and not lose any aircraft or crew members, small miracle! Haji would lob indirect every now and then but did not get us. 5-1 AVN 101st ripped us and within two weeks of us leaving, Haji landed a round right in the LSA and I was told it killed two 101st soldiers.
mkloby,
sweet deal, used to go to Corpus when I was flying Cobra's. Where you going to be flying C-12's at?
