Panama Reunion
I probably would not qualify for attendance, but that would be quite a party, I’m sure. I spent some time running a bunch of UH-1’s out of Sherman in the mid 80’s, when Pineapple face was still in power, the Cubans were scurrying around the jungle, and the Panama City banks were busy as hell cleaning dough. Due to the world wide grounding of the Blackhawks, we were tasked to head south to pick up a snake bite victim. My partner and I scrambled to arrange for a blivit of gas and a pump so we could make it back in, when all was cancelled. We were told, unfortunately that the medevac was no longer needed. That was probably as close as I got to supporting the 7th. On the other hand, JOTC thought they had their own private Air Force. I had never seen so many guys that wanted to rappel out of a Huey at night.
Is the Hotel Washington still in business?
