I got some pretty nice comments on the post of a couple of days ago*waving hi to AFSis*including a poser with a vid link from XBradTC and a memory-jogger from frequent commenter and brother Viet Vet R Jewell That TINS wouldn't be something like this would it.......? CLICK HERE and scroll to the middle of the page. I knew *exactly* what I’d see. The parts that got the most stress on faithful old Hubert were at the crosstube attaching points on the skids -- especially if you hooked a piece of PSP during takeoff.

Dang, gurl cooties everywhere I look... That was the kind of thing which could have gone worse, yes, but dang I wish somebody had videoed the whole thing. Nobody having gotten hurt just makes it teh funny. Especially the Mattress Squeeze. Tell us, Bill, did the Deep Pressure have any calming and soothing influence on you? (I speak as one who has the dimensioned drawings for the Grandin Squeeze-Box on his hard drive.) Snork!

Now that's a bit different - Bill almost getting squished by a helicopter instead of doing something wild and crazy while piloting one ;-) Any TINS is good reading - Oh to be young and immor(t)al again ;-)

Hi Twin!!

Glad to see you've improved with age... although being young and immoral isn't such a bad thing at times.

OH!

That was in Baghdad -- I was in Kirkuk. But I know most of the players you probably saw and I know *why* all the plastic plants are where they are and why. And no, I'm keeping my mouth shut about it.

But it's funneeeee!

Heh. We didn't think we were immortal -- we just hoped that we wouldn't die on that particular occasion. BTW, I left out the part where we drove a jeep over the mattresses to squish 'em down as much as possible before 33 landed. I wasn't *that* stupid...
