[Vhfcn-l] Huey down!

[Arnold B Christensen]

Yeah...respect...and back in the day we did not wear monkey straps 
either!  We stored them forward of the right fuel cell in the 
compartment over the forward wheel. Was a good spot to keep a couple 
of cases of beer too which we did one time.  Original Hookers!  Guyz 
would ask us if we could do this or that and if it was something new 
the answer was always...Don't know but we can try!  We didn't have 
much in "Lessons learned" back then.  Hell, the aircraft itself was 
not totally proven when we landed in Sept 65.  So we sort of made up 
our own lesson plans and word got around about "how do you do this?" 
And...I was not alone!  3 companies of Hookers learning from each 
other. Great outfit the 228th Chinook Battalion was.  First and only 
one of its kind from what I know.
