I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Craig. I've always enjoyed reading your stories about his experiences with the Helo's and the PBJ. I feel like I know him, even though I never met him. Blue skies and tailwinds to your father!

Craig, my condolences as well. I know the feeling all too well.

I have a childhood memory of my Pop (who tried to fly everything he could) when we were stationed at Chennault in Lake Charles, 1955-ish, waving out the window as he hovered over the house in one of these beauties!

Take Care, my friend. :cry:

My condolences and wishes for quick healing to those now hurting from their loss.

And a grateful nation says "thank you" to another veteran.
