Last batch for a while. Longbow I believe these are from the mid 90s. Never thought I would get to see one.

I think this is in the Cradle of Aviation museum now, or something very much like it. I was there as a volunteer the day it was delivered. Pretty cool.

Thanks for the link. Several great photos.

Hueys anyone?

Here are a couple of Hueys back in 1989, Air Assault Ops during Air Assault School. The two-blade Hueys were not capable of flight.....they simply beat the air into submission! Just kidding, I love those things!

1990's Stateside, our Georgia Army National Guard Infantry Battalion conducted frequent Air Assault and Sling Load Ops. We actually pioneered and tested the Tandem Humvee hook-ups with the custom "Knuckle" connecting the two vehicles shown under the Chinook.

Ah, now this is my kind of thread….

I can add quite a bit to it if you all want from my time in Army Aviation.

Here are a few I have on my phone. Most are on my laptop.

Here is a nice early morning shot of some of our UH-60s I took at our base in Germany while heading out to preflight.

These were taken in Schweinfurt, Germany while we were supporting the Air Assault School that travelled from Fort Benning to Germany to conduct a few classes of Air Assault School so the soldiers did not have to fly back to the US to attend.

I'm not sure who actually took the pics as I was crewing the bird sling loading the Humvee. I did take the last one though during formation flight.

I took these in Hohenfels, Germany while training for our deployment to Kosovo.

I took these at various times during our deployment to Kosovo.

Here are some German Huey's that were doing a joint operation with us in Kosovo.

And these are from various times during our deployment to Iraq.

German CH-53D

Took these in Kosovo. For the first one, we flew to the German-Austrian-Swiss base and got weathered in. Had to spend the night there. Very fun night.
