This is Mark Cash flying (first 7 miutes). A hot and VERY hazy day. Frenchie and I frequently dirtbiked to the Helipad seen. Mark gave us a minor show.
Approx. 20 miles south of Cp. Humphrey's.

All the army pilots were very studious and professional so we rarely got to see them play. A week or so before the retirement of the acft & mission some pilots were... (post 7 minutes) ...to practice for the final day. I'm the cameraman with a Sony HI8 Handicam. The practice runs were captured from the roof of my apt bldg. The final fly-by with a good pitch-out was a pristine, cold, clear day. Generals were there so I was accosted by a Secret Service chap. On a friends roof very near the ceremony.
All the planes (maybe all) were 'Chinhooked' to a range up north and used for target practice by the AF. Watching a Mohawk slung under a helicopter was quite strange. I am TMP.
