This scrungy group had nothing better
to do than pose for
pics. They are (lft. to rgt.) Phil Tolliver, SSG Ray Davis (KIA), Lee Salazar and Bill
Sewell.
|
We were better dressed for this
pic and had just gotten our new Cav hats. Does anyone remember the guy
on the left? Next
is a fellow named Mac and then me.
|
The Lift Section
area was heavily
sand bagged because of all the incoming
fire we got.
|
Here I am fueling the Cobra gunship.
|
It took a while to fuel it.

My Cobra gunship.
I switched to Lift because Cobra crewchiefs don't fly. |
View of our area at Camp Evans. Neat and tidy as Army camps should
be. |
Choppers were constantly in the air around the compound at Camp
Evans. |
This was one of the first three Cobra gunships assigned to Charlie
Troop. |
Sitting in the cockpit

like being up front.

dangerous.

Our area looked rustic and serene from the air.
