Kliegmann Posted November 26, 2018 Report Posted November 26, 2018 Having lived there, 2 weeks is about enough. It gives you the opportunity to see everything, and gets you out before the onset of island sickness. J5_Hotlead 1 Quote

Barton Posted November 28, 2018 Author Report Posted November 28, 2018 I’ve been watching the activity at the Marine base in K. Bay. Got some good shots. Lots of flying yesterday. UH-1s, AH-1s, MH-60s, H-53s, and Ospreys. Quote

UH-1s, AH-1s, MH-60s, H-53s, and Ospreys. OMG UH-1's, AH-1's and H-53's? Geez, I can't believe anybody, even the National Guard, would still being using that stuff (I mean, I worked on that stuff). 60's and Ospreys I could see.... In any case, you're in Hawaii, why you lookin' at that Quote
Kliegmann Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 MOS: 67N - UH-1H mechanic here. Stationed Schofield Barracks. If you can get on Wheeler, you can go into the valley to the old runway. There's still bullet holes in the runway where the zeros strafed while a pair of P-40s attempted to take off there. There's also still battle damage on the hangers at wheeler as well Quote
-Hawkeye- Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 67Y (AH-1S), LOL...to start with; then a lot of others after that The things you discover.... Kliegmann 1 Quote
Kliegmann Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 When I was there, there was only 1 company that had "Hawks", and they were constantly breaking down LOL Quote
Barton Posted November 29, 2018 Author Report Posted November 29, 2018 I have photographic evidence that the USMC still has Hueys and they even fly Quote
Barton Posted November 29, 2018 Author Report Posted November 29, 2018 Hess I’ll let you know when I come back out on vacation again and I’ll totally take that board J5_Hotlead 1 Quote
93rd Aero, R.Talbot Posted November 29, 2018 Report Posted November 29, 2018 In 2007 I, and a number of other guys in my unit, were presented the option to fast rope from the Osprey. We would have been the first ones ever if I remember correctly. However, given the Ospreys track record up to that point and the fact that I was roughly 3 weeks away from finishing my enlistment term, I politely declined, using appropriate expletives of course. I watched from the barracks as I sipped a cold beer. Quote
Britchot Posted November 29, 2018 Report Posted November 29, 2018 That first hangar on Schoolfield was used by a UAV company that I fielded in ‘06. It still had the holes 😎 Kliegmann 1 Quote
