Got a pic of this hanging from the ceiling of the baggage claim area at Meadows field Airport in Bakersfield. One authentic UH1 Huey, made from Heineken Beer cans. mysite.verizon.net/res...40X480.jpg _________________

Don't laugh, I saw plenty of patches to rotor blades and other bits on helicopters in Vietnam made with pieces cut from beer cans* and affixed with hunnerd-mile-an-hour tape or other means. *none of them Heineken...mostly Bud or PBR. _________________ "All facts go to clearly prove that Shades is a thrice-cursed traitor & mentally deranged person steeped in inveterate enmity toward mankind"

An older Crew Chief I knew told me the only limit to what Thai craftsman outside U Tapao Airbase could make was how much beer the GIs could drink to give them their raw material. _________________ Bob Smart ([email protected])

I guess you can say Helicopter pilots were one of the first "Green" groups with their use of recycled aluminum. _________________
