yankeemom, I was a door gunner on a Huey B model and it was a tremendous experience.

Wow, looks like some of those Blackhawks are still using the good old M60 machine gun.
Yes yankeemom, you would enjoy it. Parachuting and rappeling out of helicopters is also fun.

Tom, thatis so wonderoful. I have always wanted to try Parachuting, even once would be so fantastic. I have repelling and loved it. Nick did both and loved both Parachuting and repelling. He also did had the job for awhile of oh what is the proper name for it where you are in charge of putting the chute together. He did that for awhile in the service and said he took great pride in doing it right, he said they each had to put their name with it so they knew he had put it together.

Again, if the 'PC' REAR Admirals and Generals in the 'PC DC'Pentagon would only let our WARRIORS fight like BLACKHAWKS and APACHES we wouldn't be an F'N Paper Tiger! Love to scalp islamos, eh? Turks in the UN forces use to cut off the commies EARS and place them on their web belts...
