| tom tesmar Hudson, WI | Gear Down, Mixture Rich, Boost Pumps to Emergency. I still have my original checklist and most of the -10 for the Mojave. I was checked out at Rucker in March of 1969. The best touch down autorotating helicopter I ever flew. Smooth and pretty fast, but UGLY. I think I was one of the last to check out at the USAAVS. Never flew it again. My orders were flagged in Germany and I went from the CH 37 to the OH 13. What a bummer.
I will be at Rucker tomorrow night and I think I'll look into the museum. tom tesmar 04/03/2008 @ 08:32 [ref: 20326] |
| Keith Huestis North Windham, CT | Cecil Shipp, I can't put the face on you but I do remember the name. We were stationed together at Ft Sill. I was with the 154th. I can't remember if you were with the 54th or the 154th. 02/03/2008 @ 13:18 [ref: 19542] |

| Billy C. Butler Canyon Lake, TX | I commanded the 19th Avn Co at Camp Humphries, A-511 Airfield, Korea in 1968. We had 13 Ch-37s, 1 OH-23 and one U6A. At one time we only had 6 aviators in the company to support all of Korea. Went through the seizure of the USS Pueblo as well as several infiltration attempts by the North Koreans. It was an exciting year. The 19th had some of the finest NCO's I ever served with in my 30 years of service. The Warrant Officer Aviators were also among the best in the Army. The Mojave was a fine bird and fun to fly.

| Brian Arsenault Enterprise, AL | Enjoy reading the comments on the 37. Interesting, as it was one of my favorite aircraft. I spent approx 10 years in maintenance prior to Flight school, which included much time on the 34, but not the 37. Then due to having a brother in Nam, was sent to Korea and the 19th. in 68 as a Pilot, and ended up as Maint. officer for a bit. We ferried them to Japan, and they were shipped to Calif. Upon arrival, it was determined that they would not go to the Guard, and were either scraped, or sent on to the grave yard. 11/09/2007 @ 10:42 [ref: 18479] |

| Deborah Myers McKay Knoxville, TN | If anyone here remembers Warrant Officer Forrest Myers (aka "Doc" Myers) from Hanau Germany - early 60's, please contact me, he's my Dad, alive and well, and still meaner than a green-eyed snake. Would love to hear stories about him, his granddaughter is making him a Military Memories scrapbook and would love to put some of your comments in there about him. 10/04/2007 @ 10:53 [ref: 18095] |
