Keep up the good work. Army Aviation needs a lot of supporters and you're on the right track to get them.
|
It is good to see the Army Aviation Museum. I served at Cairns AAF, outside of Ft. Rucker, with USAAVNTBD in 1967 and with 101st ABN at Camp Evans, RVN, in 68-69. I am planning to put the aircraft photos I shot on a website this winter. I am also thinking about including the day to day photos of Company D. 158 AHB at Camp Evans RVN. Keep up the wonderful work! -jzak

The Army Aviation Museum is among the best (above the best?) in the Army. It makes me proud to have been an Army Aviation NCO for 22+ years. Please visit if you get the chance.
|
It's nice to see more exhibits were added since the last time I was there in 92. Great!
|
This is truly a great idea. As I have spent 20 years in the U.S. Army Aviation, it brings a lot memories some good some bad. Keep up the good work and hope you plan expand more in the future.

Very nice web site, Did the museum get RU-21A 08113? If so when will it go on display? I hope to take my dad up there and show him the a/c I served as a mission operator. Great to be a part of history. Keep up the good work.

I was very interested in the gift shop. I knew a few people at Rucker: Ernest Hinojos and Christopher Allen is my boyfriend. Go Air Cav!

Nice Site. The subject of Army Aviation usually gets shortchanged by historians. Hopefully, your Web Site will change this. For those who are interested in Army Special Mission Aircraft, see: http://www.jnpcs.com/dbuley

Would love to find someone that still may have an old Huey, HU-1B flight manual, that would
be from the mid-1960's, as Robert "Bob" Mason told me he can't
find his from his 1965-1966 tour in Vietnam, nor after his discharge in 1968.
|
Vietnam was before my time for I was born in 1961, but I still get sad at the thoughts of all the great people that gave up their lives for what our country said was right. But, I know in my heart that none died in vain. We all do what we have to do in this world and then things come to an end. I think it is great that all of you keep their memories living forever. May God bless each and everyone of you.
|
This is a wonderful site. I am very impressed. I am glad to be living in the Wiregrass with such a great tourist attraction.

I'm looking for a 1/35 scale model of an OH-6 Cayuse.
It's made by DML. The model has "Miss Clawd" markings
from the Vietnam War. I visited the museum about 3 years
ago. I loved every minute of my visit. Thank you.

Great to see the interest in Army aviation. Plan to visit the museum soon. Class 69-17, let me here from you. I did First Infantry and 117 Aviation tour in VN.

I recently was able to return to Mother "Rucker" as we used to call it. I have some very fond memories of there, like watching Gen Mac Authors superconnie land on the little strip behind building 6010, and watching the cheyenne helicopter doing rolls over that same little airstrip, many more it was great to vist again. It was like coming home. "well Done"

Great site!! Served as Army Aviator in Vietnam during
1965-1966 and again in 1968-1969. Having lots of trouble

Glad to have found you! Especially considerng you have
a Scout chopper, 65-12962, which was in our Scout platoon while I was in Vietnam. The C.E. at the time
was Schwartz and it was with A-Troop, 3/17 Air Cav of
the 1st Aviation Brigade.
If you happen to have a gif or jpg of that chopper, I would be most appreciative of you sending me a copy!
Our Squadron is considering Ft. Rucker as a reunion site
in the future.

I'm glad you finally got the net site up and running. It looks wonderful. I didn't realize that your RU-8D was serial number 56-3712. That is only one ship away from my U-8D 56-3714 (N 3204A). My bird spent most of it's Army life at Fort Rucker doing Exec. Transport and Photography according to the log books.

I have visited the museum twice and each time I discover something I missed previously. I am impressed by the displays and the efforts of your staff to bring about a true picture of Army Aviation.

Good site, am looking forward to the new gift shop site.

Outstanding museum. As a retired Master Army Aviator it is nice to see the professional, dedicated work put in to the center museum. It brought back great memories of how far Army Aviation has come and points out the "people" sacrfices along the way. My hat is off to you all. Great job, I cannot wait to visit again.
|
I think I'm the only old, bold aviator in existance. Loved flying that Cobra and that Apache.
|
Very nice. I am employed by the Daleville City School system. We are very proud of our connection with Army Aviation and the Museum.
|
I have visited your museum in the past. As retired Army Aviation NCO I appreciate the effort of your museum in bringing Army Aviation to the public.

I really enjoyed the site. I'm taking lessons in a H-13E which has been converted to civil Bell 47G standard (H-13G).
I'm a huge fan of anything to do with the 47 series. Do you have anything in the gift shop having to do with the aircraft? Also, I saw the Boeing YL-15 on your list. Is it on display or awaiting restoration? I've always wanted to see one.

I was assigned to the USAAPDT aka Silver Eagles in 1972 and was wondering if they were still in service or have been disbanded. I was one of the original Crew Cheifs of an OH-6 at the inception of the group. Any information that you could give me would be appreciated.

AOL won't let me download the viewer for the virtual tour.
I was an Army Aviation Museum tourguide back in '82.
Tell me, is the store "Wings" right outside the Main Gate still open? If so, please e-mail me their address/phone or web site address.
Thanks.

Learned about your Web Page from the last Executive Committee Report. Great initiative by the best museum staff in the military. Keep chargin' Steve!

Simulators for educational purposes and computers to show helicopters and Army planes that are not in the Museum should be made available in the Museum.

Truly a nice site. Grand Rapids Michigan

As I stated yesterday I applaud your efforts--Good start and I enjoyed it. I can't believe you showed no picture of the OV-1 Mohawk--The one aircraft that gave you intell. 24 hrs a day. This was a valuble assest to J-2--at least the 131st was, up in Phu Bai. Anyone in the 131st knows what I'm talking about, but don't ask those guys in the 73rd. Maybe someday we will hear the real story of the OV-1 in combat; in particular, the 131st. Thanks anyway for a great service to Army Aviation that your doing by having the museum. Joe.
