I have the task this week of sorting through my late mother's belongings - and of course she meticulously filed away every card and letter I ever sent her. Well - here's a clip a young 22 year old ENS ChuckMK23 sent his mother ... I thought appropriate for this thread!
7-v-1?? Fuck. Just surviving that deserves the MoH.Stud….

This last weekend the SW Chapter of the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation inducted their newly restored AH-1F into the CAF Airbase AZ Museum.
The pilot of the original Sand Shark, Warren Aylworth, was on hand and related the origination of the Sand Shark paint scheme and challenges of flying in the desert having been deployed directly from Germany.
Warren Alyworth, Sand Shark pilot, 4th squadron 2nd ACR. Rope added to 4/2 Cobras as a handhold for downed airmen extraction.

Not as exciting as the Sand Shark, but got up for an sunny MLK afternoon flight…
Here is my HGU-56 after a paint job and some mods to make it civilian friendly. It is amazingly comfortable and with the CEP nearly as quiet as a Bose A20. For those who wonder, my insurance considers a helmet on the PIC a “safety improvement” and it takes a few hundred off the premium!

Wow! 200 knots would rattle the Griz-O-Copter to pieces!I guess the next check in the block is to hit 200 knots in type. It's good to have goals.
Triple dog dare you to give it the old college try…and be sure to get some pics. ?
You're not allowed to smoke? Can't you just roll down a window in flight?I guess the next check in the block is to hit 200 knots in type. It's good to have goals.
Old school GNS 530 _ I assume its a 'W' with WAAS - and GMX200 MFD - redundant in many ways in the age of Foreflight and own-ship. Had this same set up in a 182 - until it was lost in a mishap. How does all this work under NVG's? Do they dial down on brightness enough?I guess the next check in the block is to hit 200 knots in type. It's good to have goals.
