Of course...I had more fun shooting crap! I remember us sitting alert in the war...and we flew on 50% of them. The poor HC b__tards sat alert 90% of the time and flew off that - about - what...0% of the time?

Alert wasn't so bad...except when some hotshot flew over the camp at 200'. Who would do such a thing?

Ahem.

too funny

I vaguely remember the same thing on one deployment. We night flyers/day sleepers were growing tired of the fighter guys making a ruckus during the day when we were trying to sleep. Our answer - we did a pass on the camp sometime around 1 or 2 in the morning low enough to wake them all.

Memories...

300 hrs seems low. Is that because its Specops?

Dude, what gives? Do you try to make a question for every post or what? You must be a fountain of knowledge with all the questions you ask.

Why are you asking questions about people asking question?
Fountain? I would think Plethora of Knowledge would sound cooler.

BTW my low pass joke was a private joke. Lets just say someone on THIS post got the base CC pissed and he banned our tac arrivals. I slept thru it but guys in the shower tent said they thought the plane was going to crash into the tent city.

We didn't need to do anymore tac arrivals anyway. I do remember the tower controller and his angry letter to the boss. In retrospect, however, I learned a little lesson there - just b/c I thought something seemed like a good idea doesn't mean it actually was. The crew liked it, though, and I got some good feedback from the bros who actually saw it! It was planned for 300' AGL, but the dam HH-60 on downwind drove me a little lower....

I dunno...the night the crash happened - some dork was out there shooting small arms at us...so...I like the arrivals.
Heck when I heard you did that my response was..."....so?...and?" Never thought some REMF would write an angry letter. It was a war. Maybe a little low....live and learn.
