| Sal Gomez Lancaster, CA | My first huey was a HU-1A,in 1962 at Edwards A.F.B. Ca.I got assigned to E.A.F.B. in MAR 1962,went to work on H-21 helos,shortly thereafter i was moved to the flight test section to work on Army Hueys.First was A HU-1A,then i crewed a HU-1B,did some drop tank/rocket pod jettison tests,mounted machine guns on a UH-1D,and also worked on the UH-1D performance and stability/control programs.At that time the USAF was doing the flight testing for the Army helos.When the UH-1F came along i was assigned to yhat flight test program.WE did all the sea level ,mid altitude and hi altitude perforance/ stab con testing.The service ceiling is 22,000 ft,and i'm glad to say i was on the flight that established that number.Several days before, we made the attempt but only got to 18,500 due to xmsn oil overheating.I enjoyed my time with the USAF,but 1965 rolled around and i said goodbye.Later i hired on with the U>S Army flight test unit at Edwards AFB,and enjoyed 29 years of helo flight testing,which included more UH-1C,M/H,AH-1G/F, UH-60A,OH-58A/C/D,OH-6,CH-47B/C/D and more. 04/05/2013 @ 08:07 [ref: 67712] |
| Ron Rueger Cynthiana, KY | Was assigned to Detachment 5 37th ARRS Malmstrom AFB Montana from April 1984 to Jan 1988. My training started in the Phase Dock area where after 500 flying hours, the helicopters were defueled,disassembled, inspected, parts were rebuilt, replaced, the aircraft reassembled, reserviced,refueled, flight checked, and returned to mission capable status. This is where I began to know the aircraft inside and out. Eventually became the Crew Chief of Aircraft 65-7915 and saw her to achieve her 11,000 flying hour. I accompanied her on her final flight in 1987 to her final resting place in Arizona as our squadron began acquiring UH-1N helicopters and phasing out the F models. 03/03/2013 @ 23:29 [ref: 67638] |

| Staś Kukiełka Northglenn, CO | Hi. I am trying to locate a print of a UH-1 I had put on wall in Material Handling in Bld. 1250 at F.E Warren. Was around 83 or so. Was drawn by Graphics and had TV antennas, clothes lines, etc. on it. Had my name on the back. Stanley Kukielka. Anyone see it or know where it went. Would appreciate any info. Thanks. 11/07/2009 @ 15:00 [ref: 25261] |

To Rudy and his Crew, job well done guys. 09/14/2009 @ 13:34 [ref: 25126] |

| Eric Greenblatt Albuquerque, NM | Who'd have thought.......
Interesting to see several of our old tails still spinning! I was a pilot @ Det 5 from 82-84. 911, 915, 918, 224, 227, 246 all flew great. Great to see 911 still in flying in the Big Sky. The Fightin' F was the best flying H1 I flew and 911 will always have a soft spot in my heart--we survived a full on auto to the ground when my SDG failed about 15 miles east of Malmstrom. Be safe Ghost 38 08/19/2008 @ 13:43 [ref: 22496] |
