Thanked: 1185Now that I think about it, the H-3 left about half way through my tour and the Alaska Guard guys from Kulis flew HH-60's up there. Many years later I spent a couple years with the 56th Rescue Squadron at NAS Keflavik, Iceland (HH-60s). What a hoot! I'm way too old for that kind of stuff now but I gotta say there's no fool like an old fool and given the opportunity, I'd go back at the drop of a hat. After 25+ years in the business I was just getting good at it. Oh well, something to be said about coming home to my bride every night, no 2 A.M. phone calls and I really don't remember the last time I worked on a weekend. To be honest, I guess I'm not as good as I once was but I'm as good once as I ever was. Thanks for your service and God Bless.
The older I get, the better I was

Thanked: 79Thank you for your service as well, sir.
I'm not Air Force, but was up at Eielson for one of the joint exercises they were hosting, and had a great time.
As for the mighty H3, almost everyone flies 60's now, but there can only be one King. Long live the King.
