Sorry to be slow with a reply. I use the iPad almost exclusively. Just logged on with a big desktop and here are some notes. Yes I was at Rucker in '69 for flight training and transition to CH-47 training. Then off to Nam. The only time I flew medivac was when Ft Carson needed extra help. Pulled pilots from other units. Although we were all rated in UH-1, having far more time in a big powerful twin engine sort of took a refresher in different touch. Oh yes, the other time I was in a medivac ship was as a patient after a crash in Nam. Got shot down but all survived. Looking back I can't imagine how casually we treated such events. Another day in the AO.
I'm retired now and have not touched a helicopter in years. Civilian aviation is boring, so I went a different career path.
Next time we travel through southern Alabama, I think we will stop at Rucker to see what has changed. When was the last time you saw it?
