Goodbye, Kiowas

[mom3boys]

Here's an article about the final flight of the Kiowas at Ft Campbell. This makes me so sad; my son loved this airframe. He worked hard to earn an aviation slot, and then worked to earn the Kiowa. http://www.theleafchronicle.com/sto...fort-campbell-saying-goodbye-kiowas/25114361/

My good buddy from high school flew Kiowas, loved them. In fact, my Army buddies seem to prefer the Kiowas over Apaches…. which seemed odd to a non-Army aviator like myself, but they certainly know.

So Sad

So it goes. She was a good bird (no she wasn't, but we made her good) and I enjoyed all the hours I spent in her, even though she claimed the life of one of my good friends.
