Clever, Maj Joan Marine!
Here's an absolutely true Huey story for you! On a Friday evening in the spring/summer of 1975, I accidentally met up with Lake Mitchell, AL water skiing buddy 1LT Edward "Bo" Warren, USMC, at the Fort McClellan (AL) Officers' Club. He was the pilot of a UH-1N "Huey" and said he was flying home for the weekend on a "training mission*". Early Saturday morning, we went to Henry J. Reilly Army Airfield at Fort McClellan, jumped in his Huey and took off! We dropped the crew chief off in his (large) back yard in east Birmingham. We took off again and he flew me to Moton Field (home of the Tuskegee Airmen), Tuskegee, AL, where all my skydiving buddies came running over, hoping for a free jump. He took off again, headed to Maxwell AFB, Montgomery, AL to be met by his parents. Unfortunately for the jumpers, none were aboard when he took off! Bo is pictured in the seat to the left in the Huey (without a helmet).
I made a few civilian sport skydives from a Huey at Fort Rucker, AL for USPA Jumpmaster certification, but I never made an Army static line jump from one.
*Use up USMC fuel allotment before the end of the fiscal year so the budget wouldn't be cut.
