After getting SOAKED at 4M...Oh how the world turns! After getting SOAKED at 4Million dollars a pop for outdated and primitive Mi-17's, they are now going to drag 30& 40 yr. old H-3's out of the boneyard at Davis-Monthan and refurbish them into "modern" S-61's, and put them to use with the State Department. Well, at least this scheme will employ US workers and know-how, AND keep us that are being selected for this mission from having to re-wire our Helo brains and go "Right pedal with power" on take off! Looking forward to crew this old Bird soon in the skies of Iraq and AFG. ALL THE WAY!dagiandjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03167340272946156921noreply@blogger.com
