Well, flying the Longbow is seldom boring, and recently never boring.

What kind of OR rate are you guys getting with the Longbows?
I heard they have increased quite a bit since MD bought Hughes..
My heydey was in the 1st Gulf War and they were pretty abysmal at that time...
I was a 67S3P..

Mike, I'm not the maintenance officer, just an instructor pilot <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />, but it seems that most of the time we are in the high 80s or better. In fact, it's my impression that Longbows seem to do a little better in the OR game than the A models did. Forgot to add that Boeing bought MD. John

That's excellent..They were in the low 40's during Desert Storm..
The old line was "It's an excellent aircraft when it works"
They were hauling hanger queens over as parts birds..
Our brigade's 64's were hurting so bad that the only guys getting any time were MTP's the rest were only getting simulator time...Our unit was using their fual and ammo allocations so the brigade didn't lose them..
I was always concerned because 67S's(OH-58D Mechs) became 67R's(AH-64 Mechs) when they hit E-7..
Thanks for the info and for your service!

I know I've asked this in the past, but with so many new members I thought I'd ask again. I find it interesting.
Myself, I am a graduate student at Utah State University finishing up (hopefully) a MS in Range Ecology. This summer I'm doing and internship with the BLM out of the Salt Lake City field office. After that, I don't know.
So, how about you? Paper route has kept my family fed and clothed for 30 years now.

243 month old post... Interesting...
At least more interesting than most of the new stuff...
In 2003, I was building Dayton Aviation NHS at 16 S Williams in West Dayton Ohio...
What an utter chithole that place/city was...
I was about 39/40...
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

What an utter chithole that place/city was...
I was about 39/40... Fixing to turn 40 in june back then. May 03??? Probably searching and clearing abandoned house,s in affluent.gov and military sunni type areas of Baghdad or putting thermite grenades in the breech mechs of abandoned D30 howitzers around the south and South East areas of the city. Or getting ready to fly north to Mosul out of Baghdad international. Or maybe doing presence patrols to prevent anymore looting. Hung out around a couple of museums in town doing that. They already had gotten azz,d raped looting wise. Think it was more of public relations thing for the world to see after the places had been hit and all the antiquities had been stolen. Baghdad was more of a break for us than anything. That fight had already been fought by others. Our schit went down in the south in march and April. Then up north in Mosul . Now???? Sitting on my azz waiting on deer season to ramp up and fuuging with those who need it on here. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

When this post started, rolling up the deck of cards in Iraq.
Didn't even know the "Fire" existed.
Now, instructing the next generation of "Aggressive foreign diplomats".
