| Bob Deal Vancouver, WA | A Model T compared to the Choppers NAS Search and Rescue has today but somehow we got the job done with them. The most vivid memory I have about the HRS-3 (Chickasaw) while with Search and Rescue on Whidbey Island in the early sixties was the five million grease fittings the main rotor had that continually needed to be serviced. Otherwise it provided aa lot of versatility and reliability to us. 07/16/2008 @ 17:23 [ref: 22155] |
