About Me:	I'm a former US Army Attack Helicopter Crew Chief with D Trp 1/167th Air Cav. I have worked on all variations of the Huey UH-1 gunships and all the AH-1 Cobra Attack Helicopters. Spent 3 yrs active duty in the Army from 1973 to 1976. Last post I was stationed at was Ft. Carson Colorado. Had a four year break in service and then came back in 1980. Spent 15 years in the Nebraska National Guard. Was activated for Desert Storm in 1991 and got out in 1995. I have helped author many books on attack helicopters and weapon systems. I always carried my camera on all my missions. The US Army uses a lot of my material for training aids. There is a lot more to my background and its just easier to Google my name.

Flying Since:	1971

Memorable Aviation Experience:	Hard landing in an Attack helicopter after one of the rockets that we fired had exploded 200 ft in front of the a/c. We had just popped up from behind some pine trees and launched a pair. These rockets had proximity fuses on them and they had sensed the trees. The shock wave had forced us backwards and we settled with power, it spread the skids pretty good.
