Our Helicopters

The helicopter pictures portrayed here are a selection of the models most often utilized by the Air Force. There were many others that were given slightly different identification; depending on the type mission they were assigned.

Our Members

What started as sharing emails between amongst some old friends, transitioned into a blog and grew into a website to broaden the sharing of stories and photos. Today, our site aims to preserve the history of U.S. Air Force helicopters and the people who flew and maintained them. We thank and honor our members, and welcome their participation. We would like to continue our invitation to join and encourage everyone to participate.

Otto Kroger (1952) H-19 Factor School

A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

Pledge of Allegiance

by Francis Bellamy

 

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

 

The Pledge of Allegiance was originally published on 8 September 1892 in "The Youth's Companion" magazine for students to repeat on Columbus Day that year. The original pledge was modified on 14 June 1923 and again in June 1954. Congress officially recognized the Pledge of Allegiance in 1942.
