I spent a couple hours talking to Larry Neil at the recent Sun n Fun here in
Florida..He is a very interesting person and has some enviable back ground
experiences.
He has a Harley Davidson powered machine on the drawing boards as well..

My last AH1G flite would have been in 1972 when I was at Aberdeen Proving
Grounds. I think I was flying an experimental infra red system.I worked on
the Tow Cobra upgrade specs, and the Hellfire sight system. Very early
bread board stuff..
From Aberdeen I went to Alaska and the 269th Aviation Battalion assist S3 so
very little flying there. My last flight was in the CH54 June 1976 just
before I retired.

I was H23, H13, CH21, CH34, all the UH1s and the AH1G qualified.. Flew the
OH6,OH58 and TH55 but was never qualified in them..
1966 / 67 flew UH1C gun ships in Vietnam 1968 went to Hunter Army Airfield
and was in the 9th AH1 qualification class returned to Vietnam in 69 as a
maintenance officer with the 4th Divisions Direct Support Company.

I liked the Snake but the 21 and 34 was fun and required some skill that the
turbine power did not require..Especially at altitude. But I do miss flying
rotary wing aircraft fixed wing never done much to get the adreneline
flowing.

Have good one and I hope you have a Sky Cycle in your garage soon..I have
thought about selling my Valkyrie and Motor Home then renting a garage..
