Anyone coming to Ft. Pickett for Southbound Trooper in February???

[krazy karl]

Is anyone out there coming to Blackstone, Virginia in February for Operation Southbound Trooper? I am a Canadian flying in helicopters for the US Navy and will be there in support of your operations. I was there last year and had a blast, just wondering if anyone will be there, we should party like rockstars. Im the one on the right with the Canadian patches over my heart.

I'll be there. What do you helicopter-types have planned for us?

Mostly troop insertions into the field and then field extractions whenever you all are done playing war games. We will try to be nicer this year, last year a couple of us had just got back from overseas and were "anxious" to get people in and out of the bird.

What group are you with? If the opportunity presents itself we should get together for a coffee or even better a cold one. Our sister squadron will be joining us also but if you look for the birds that say HSC-26 on them then that is us. Find someone with the same patch and ask for the "Canadian" I shouldnt be too far away.

If anybody's interested in doing a roadtrip up to DC I'm willing to host a pub crawl.
