Hey, congratulations. What a thrill it must be to fly one of those babies. I spent some time in the simulator at Mayport in Jacksonville. My first time landing on a pitching aircraft carrier I sank the sucker. Second landing was perfect. Setting it down on land was perfect - - except forgetting to brake the thing and I let it roll into the bay. Oh well, sure fun. Good luck.

Congratulations!

(I'm not a very superstitious guy at all, but I've ridden in CH-46s and CH-53s, and I'm still convinced that helicopters can't really fly, that it's only a collective illusion that keeps them in the air, and that if enough people stop believing they'll all fall from the sky at once. I hope never to ride in one again. )

I guess, first of all, I'll say congratulations and THANK YOU like everyone else is saying.

Second, do you think I could get a contract with the army installing sealed concrete floors in those bad boys??
