SAN
FRANCISCO, CA (Mar 2004) - Says Casper Pilot Stephen Greene while flying
this twin engine Bell 222 at work. Steve is a Pilot for Calstar Air
Rescue in Northern California and compares this helicopter as a cross
between an OH-58 and UH-1 Huey, only faster.
We
all shared a time that has become
more and more remote. When we returned from service in Vietnam few people
could relate to the experiences we had. Today after three decades, there
are even fewer people who have any idea of what we did or what we went
through, both in country, and in the years after we got home. As Caspers,
we have a unique history and a very special shared moment together.
I
urge each and every one of you to attend as many Casper Platoon reunions as possible, especially those Caspers from the 1966 to 1967 time, while I was there.
