EAA in Oshkosh, WI

[BillyMagg]

The Army actually had some 310's when I was at Adams Field. They had one at the Reserve Flight Facility at Norman, OK. Also, the DEA station at Adams Fld. had a 310 and a real OH-6. I would fly with the DEA pilot in the 310 when he needed some hood time. No unusual attitudes, just a couple instrument approaches. I got to fly the OH-6 up the Arkansas river to help him get ready to harvest somebody's pot farm in Kentucky (1990). The DEA there had one pilot and at least 3 agents. Had a couple sit downs with those guys in their office and got to handle their select fire weapons. The rest of that story off line.

Take care on the IL to SAT drive. That would be at least a two day drive for me.

Yep, when I was a young kid on the farm in Tennessee, just North of M'boro, the OH-6 were like mosquito's

Of course, I'm a groud pounder now, but I always loved the Hughes 500, Magnum PI cemented that affection, I've never flown a chopper, although I did try to entice the young chick flying the R44 on a Florida beach hop, to crank it and bank it,, but she didn't bite at all

Now that I'm more familiar with Robinson's and mast bumping , I can completely understand,, my brother sent me video of a recent UH-1 flying fungicide onto corn

He launched for Oshkosh this AM to take his 1970 Cessna 150 up for a good parking place, LOL

For the airplane enthusiast.

One of the five King Air 100's the Army owned. We had all five at NAS Dallas, 1st/158th Avn. Regt.
