Halifax that is an awesome bird that you got to crew on. Did not see any on my last trip over the pond. Mostly close air support 58D helo they fit in the tight little canyons/valleys we where in.
I have been around mostly rescue birds, C-130 h, n, p e,, ec and also ec-130J. I hated the J model all computer and ran by windows believe it or not. and also a lot of hh60(m)g's.
