Hurray for Galianna and Frodo,
I went thru flight training at Mainside Pensacola, Whiting Field, Cory
Field, Saufley Field, and finished basic with my carrier qualification at
Baron Field (Foley, Alabama).
Then off to jet fighter training in Corpus Christi, TX.
Darned if I can remember what the helicopter training base's name was at the
time.... help me...
I think it started with an "E"???
You must be near Whiting Field as I believe that is where the chopper
training is now...
I soloed at Whiting in fixed wing T-34 in 1955. I almost landed on a gator
at Whiting as it was ambling across the runway.
Did you happen to check around under the fence lines for any gator tracks?
Funny about helicopters: When we finished building up here on the mountain
and got everything electrified (horse water heaters and all), my power bill
jumped dramatically.
I think the DEA got wind of the big jump and came looking one night around
midnight.
VERY quiet, but the anti-collision strobe light lit up our bedroom. They
never came back as their infra-red gear would have picked up a lot of warm
horse bodies, Llama bodies and the heated horse waterers must have stood out
like beacon lights.
We didn't even bother getting out of bed... as it was not bothering the
Fjords at all. We have CCTV and don't have to get out of bed to look around.
Darn handy. Ours are hard wired systems and especially useful to watch the
foaling pen too.
We are really proud of your Fjords WITH you...
Fred

Thanks everyone for the good wishes. Galianna was doing much better today
and
was able to be turned out and even nibbled some grass.
