ADC Bob Lowry San Diego, CA | Hello Pelican Pushers, Let's do what we do best and fill these pages with Coastie Postings to push these Commercial Parasites that have no legitimate purpose to be on this site off of it. I flew the HH-3F to Hell and back with such Great Pilots like Paul Resnick, Rick Hill, Malcolm Smith, Chuck Peterson and a list of names that go on and on. They made it Fun and got us home every time. The Guard of the seventies was much differant than todays Guard. We worked hard, played hard and didn't sweat the small stuff. When you think back it was all small stuff. We just did what we had to do. You had to go out but you didn't have to come back. We did it without hesitation. There was a greater good in saving an another persons life. The Flight Mechs and Avionics men knew how to get things done. The Best AVI I ever flew with was AE1 Orville Macnary. He is not with us anymore but those who knew him were better for it. He was a Class Act to the very end, I miss talking to him. The Best Ground Crew that I had was in San Diego in the eighties. Colton Shultz, Rich Miller Mark Patton, and Rick Lavern. There were more that I cannot recall their names but they know who they are. My Favorite Engineering Officer Fletcher Brown. Signing off for now Your Eternal Shipmate Bob Lowry ADC. 08/14/2011 @ 08:54 [ref: 46048] |
