Hi Keith, you won't remember me but I was a young Coastguard in the days when you were at Chivenor. You took me on my very first flight in the Whirlwind in 1978 and I subsequently flew many times with both Whirlwind and Wessex until leaving the Coastguard in 1984. You are instantly recogniseable and following some research on 22 squadron I'm pleased to see you still connected so strongly with aviation. I fly regularly from Gatwick on business and will happily "stand you a beer" after all these years!

Kind regards

Rob (Robbie) Almond

Many do not know of the South Korean soliders that fought in Vietnam. In later years of the war, the 129th AHC directly supported these fierce warriors of the Tiger Division. They are truly unknown, but were a force to be reckoned with, big time. The NVA and Vietcong walked miles around these warriors, just to avoid a fight with them. They have a new english website and welcome visitors. One cannot talk about the war without talking about their contrbutions. Do yourself a favor, meet some of the finest warriors ever to walk the earth, learn about their war. http://www.rokfv.com/eng/contents/sub0101.php Thanks, Alvis. PS, I have more than once, carried their wounded and dead, away from battlefields. The 129th lost more than a few ships, and crews, in support of these men. The ROKs, would walk into hell, spit in the Devils eye, then call us to come pick them up.

Hi Becky

I saw the Huey on Saturday, what an AWESOME machine!!, the sound raised the hairs on the back of my neck!!. After the display I walked over the the parking area and carried on filming and taking pics while Phil tied up the blades. Then he called me over to sit in the back and take pics and he took pics of me sitting in the pilots seat!. Also had a wee blether, its a shame there is so much 'red tape' about, tell Phil, Thanks for making a dream come true for me to touch, see and hear this Iconic Helicopter ever since I read Chickenhawk in 1984.

Haste Ye Back,

Alan.

Met the Team and saw the awsome Huey at Perth Airshow 2010. It was a dream come true to see the Huey flying in real life. It has always been my favourite aircraft.Never thought I would get the chance to see one actually in flight. Thanks to you all for making it happen. My wife was laughing at me as I was like a big kid when it took to the air. Awsome. The sound gave me goose bumps. Keep up the good work. Hope to see you again.
