Yeah, it’s been about twenty years because my first clear memory of wanting to fly helicopters was from when I was something like five. But somewhere in that growing and learning and forming infant brain of mine, I believe I knew. And so I have been waiting my whole life for this day.
:D
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.
Well, I used to think that there was nothing like a great day of teaching to make me feel like a superhero, but alas it has been matched. While cruising over beautiful terrain in a helicopter, it’s easy to forget that I am not superman. And I get to cruise over beautiful terrain in a helicopter to go to the school where I teach. How am I this lucky??
