Hi Jim. Go into work at 2:00pm.Tuesday. If you are in the office in the morning I could bring the green felt by for you, and get my case. Maybe we could do lunch at Allen's. Called him when I got off work this afternoon to let him know I was back from Fla. as I had promised I would do. He was in a hole at Gorden. How many cases do you need green for? And do you need any of the gold if you have frames of river/creek finds?
Thanks buddy for the reply.I'm in north Georgia myself, I live in Murray county.That is absolutely the best platform pipe I've ever seen.If its anyway possible when ya get time recon you could shoot me a pic of it for my own personal use of display.Thanks

Sorry to be slow with a reply. I use the iPad almost exclusively. Just logged on with a big desktop and here are some notes. Yes I was at Rucker in '69 for flight training and transition to CH-47 training. Then off to Nam. The only time I flew medivac was when Ft Carson needed extra help. Pulled pilots from other units. Although we were all rated in UH-1, having far more time in a big powerful twin engine sort of took a refresher in different touch. Oh yes, the other time I was in a medivac ship was as a patient after a crash in Nam. Got shot down but all survived. Looking back I can't imagine how casually we treated such events. Another day in the AO.
I'm retired now and have not touched a helicopter in years. Civilian aviation is boring, so I went a different career path.
Next time we travel through southern Alabama, I think we will stop at Rucker to see what has changed. When was the last time you saw it?
I enjoyed meeting you yesterday and was blown away with seeing the pipe. It is an amazing once in a lifetime find. I know you are still on a high! I guess that creek has become a PHO creek for you!
I posted about your pipe on Son Anderson's website with a link to what you had posted. Everybody that has commented on it agrees with me in that it is a once in a lifetime find. You can see what they said here

I looked for 3 hours yesterday on the by pass and found one decent point and a handful of broken points. Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed. Maybe I will have better luck next time.
I look forward to seeing your next incredible find.
