Nice Sight Today

Post by flyboy »

A 12 ship Chinook formation came over the house this morning. They were following I-65 from North to South. The Alabama National Guard is doing their weekend drill, and I think these were out of Birmingham. They shook the house pretty good......

Jumping from a Chinook is great fun!

Amen to that Rick...been there and done that on several FTX's back in the early 80's. Also, Grounding the Hook(s) for sling-load was an important lesson one only needed to learn once back when we still wore the Steelpot helmets... :)
