I read about the crash last night, was hoping for the best however low the odds. Clear skies and tailwinds, brothers. "We toast our hearty comrades who have fallen from the skies, and were gently caught by God's own hand to be with him on High."
I see national guard Apaches fly around all the time out of Conroe regional and Ellington. Sad to think one could've been this crew.
Is that actually an Apache? It doesn't look like one. [img]http://i.imgur.com/KOh8vqN.jpg[/img]
