Nesher Posted September 12, 2008 Author Posted September 12, 2008 Time to retire those birds. Lost 2 people from my unit during a test flight. The E-4 was a member of maintenance platoon onboard for a joyride. His wife was pregnant with their first child. Damn shame. Top of the list...last active army deaths in the AH-1 http://www.armyaircrews.com/cobra.html real damn shame... my deepest sympathies man! Quote
