Jack says:

The Bell Kiowa, 40 years of training pilots, amazing. Thanks WT. I’ll stick to the Huey or the ‘hook’.

TomR says:

Me too Jack. There is an Army NG aviation unit in the area. They fly mostly “Hooks”. They used to fly Hueye and I miss that wop-wop-wop of the blades.

Wild Thing says:

Jack and Tom, thank you so much.
