Carl-Its funny you should mention "S**hooks." Just washing the salt water off the boat yesterday-heard the sounds of one of them loud,hot,smelly birds-and there she was beating the air to death above me.Our NG summer camp is about 20 minutes from my boat's slip.Did you ever have the unpleasant experience of riding in one of those contraptions in the Nam?I got off one in An Khe-and told the crewchief I never appreciated my Huey as much-and thanked him for opening my eyes to what flying in hell was. Think he thought I was talking about the Nam-not his ship!!!
