[Rhodes22-list] My other "boat"

[Hank]

Brad,

What's the old saying, "Any landing you can walk away from is a good
landing!"

When I was crewing on UH-60s we used to practice low level flight, (Nap of
the Earth or NOE in Army speak) and occasionally we'd have to clean some
branches out of the landing gear when we got back to the airbase.  Those
were some interesting times!
