The wife & I rode in a nighttime helicopter tour up & down the Las Vegas Strip 20+ years ago.
A lot of fun and the view was amazing.
That's the extent of my helicopter "experience ".
Several extended family members & friends were military aviators though.
My brother's grandson was a Blackhawk crew chief for the Texas ANG 20 years ago.
My wife's old high school boyfriend flew a Hughes "Loach" in Vietnam - he barely survived being shot down and spent almost two years recovering at Brooke Army Hospital in San Antonio.
My English friend is a former RAF Chinook crew chief and veteran of the Falklands War and the "troubles" in Lebanon.
My cousin Gary Dougan (RIP) was a Huey pilot killed in Vietnam in 1970 after being shot down…
