| Skip OBryan Grand Forks, ND | Mark, As I remember, you where the crew chief on 72. It's still flyting in Ventura, CA, with the sheriff's Dept. I was the last arrival before deactivating Det 1. I came from Det 3 in Grand Forks and returned after Det 1 shut down. Wow, that was in 1984 and I'm still in Grand Forks 12/22/2012 @ 18:47 [ref: 67433] |

| Tim Bentz Battle Ground, WA | Hey Bret,
I don't know if you remember me, but I remember you. This is Tim Bentz. You were there at Det 6 at McConnell AFB when I arrived early in 1982. I became crew chief of 70-2467. The other helicopters we had there were 70-2473 (yours), 70-2474, and 70-2475. Drop me an email sometime and we can catch-up. Go to TimsRV.com & use email link at the bottom of the page.

| Bret Beaver , OH | Does anyone know where I can find the old pregnant angel patch that had the motto across the top "these things we do" and along the bottom "that others amy live" we had them when I was stationed at Minot but I can't find them anywhere. 03/30/2008 @ 09:11 [ref: 20296] |
| Norm Dubay , CO | Does anyone know the serial numbers of the HH-1Hs that were with the 37th ARRS Det 1 stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB for missle site support during the mid to late seventies 01/28/2008 @ 19:54 [ref: 19453] |
| Bret Beaver Huber Heights, OH | I also worked 2467 at McConnell, I was stationed there from 1978 to 1983. I was also a flight mechanic on these airplanes. Got PCS'D to Minot and worked them there as well to include 2460(sick o) I can't remember all the tail number I worked on but I do remember 2473 because I was the Crew Chief on this one. Oh yeah there was 2474 and 2475 also but I can't remember if they were at Minot or at McConnell. I had to finally leave because they went to contract maintenance, I do miss working on them. 10/22/2007 @ 15:38 [ref: 18276] |
