Does this bring back helo maintenance duty memories, popeye?

yep.. with HSL-31 I was an Aviation Ordnanceman and one of out jobs was to replace the fire bottle squibs on the engines every 224 days..I think.. That was a hard job that required some blind safety wiring..

We worked on the SH-2F Sea Sprite..I was with that shore based squadron on NAS North Island San Diego CA from November 1977 until November 1980...a long time ago in a Navy far..far away...

Jeff Head just made a post;

Very High-res pictures

... about posting hi-res photos. And I agree with him.. All you fellows have to do is use a photo-hosting site to re-size your photos. imgur is free and easy to resize.. it can be done instantly or you can manually edit those gigantic pix....other photo hosting sites have the same ability.
