RTRNV Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 This is the best helicopter related book I have read. A rescue in the storm from "A perfect storm". From the phillipines to Iraq and many places inbetween... Arial refueling with a 400ft ceiling with 60' waves below... Flying the old HH-3's and having to milk the collective in the underpowered pigs... Basically an awesome book which clearly shows it is'nt glamorous, it is'nt safe but when you can hang it up after 3 decades and know you saved 293 lives it is worth it. Info Quote

RTRNV Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 If I had been aboard that one VRS would have meant Viscious Rectal Spasims.... 2 Quote
blave Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Thanks, I just added this to my Amazon shopping cart. I have read a lot of aviation autobios, and my favorite so far (w.r.t. helicopters) is "Low Level ####" by Hugh Mills, who flew OH-6s in Vietnam. Highly recommended. Dave Blevins Quote
Sling Wing MGC Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 I love this book Col. Ed Flemming really brings home what us pilots really experience. Quote
