I think you may be thinking I'm someone else. I've been here in Central
Texas for the past 10 years or so.

G A mystery bob... Yes, I haven't posted here very much. I'm
following Si's stories about his training.

Indeed I am.

When you wrote such an interesting story and started talking about
PHI I thought you were Bob Barbanes, a regular to the group up till a
few years ago.

He too had some interesting stories and when he retired to Florida a
few of us here used to tease him about writing a book.

My life has been one big lucky streak. I should be dead many times over
because of stupid things I did in semi-rigid rotor-wing helicopters and
somehow made it through. Crashed 2 with no injuries and both were system
malfunctions, not something I did. I still have to dig out the pictures
of one Cobra that rolled right and ended up resting on the right rocket
pods. But that's another story.

....... I just started another story and deleted it. It was about
helicopters and Vietnam but too many stories at a time is boring.

Sounds like you really ought to write a book boB!!

I really wanted to fly with PHI but circumstances took me another way..
But everything worked out.

It would probably be boring. But so much happened over the years I
could probably do a short story. If you remember a couple
incidents I told over on the flt-sim newsgroup relating to helicopters
and, well, you know... it would be adult only.
