Evergreen’s bo-105 is broken down again, and there was a LOT of stuff in the connex in Wales. Like, many thousands of pounds of mail and groceries.

They called in backup, rustled up a bigger steed for captain mike. The Bell UH-1 Iroquois, star of Vietnam war movies, is known colloquially as the ‘huey.’ We felt it coming long before we could see or hear it.

AWESOME. Second only to when the CG Jayhawk lands here. Although….even though the coasties and their jayhawk are great, there is something uniquely special about having a big old beautiful chopper from the 60’s bring the groceries and mail.
