Rumors of A4sForever demise have been greatly exaggerated. He is still alive and well.

Reminds me of @A4sForever , on this forum. Rest in Peace, brother.

He's still very much alive and enjoying retirement. If you're friends with "Master" Bates on Facebook, you'll see him posting quite frequently. He even posts in the same BOLD style.

I stand corrected. I must have confused him with the memory of someone else’s passing.

I thought the same thing honestly!

Perhaps, although I remember seeing the posts for his obituary. Another blast from the past for us longer-term members.

I miss both BusyBee604 and Catmando

The X-33 and my Polartech fleece keeping me company while I kept wishing the work fuel bowser to pump faster. It was a balmy 2*C by that time. At least our building pipes had unfrozen by then...

Not in combat or outside test squadrons as far as I know.

Roger that…I was Googling the crap out of “AH-1” and didn’t see anything listed…then you posted…then I zoomed in on the pic that @ChuckMK23 posted and saw “U.S. Naval Test Pilot School” placarded on the forward area of the fuselage.

Google??!!##@ The HC-1 dets that comprised the original Pre HA(L)-3 Seawolves evaluated, in combat, Cobras. Bailed from the Army like their Hueys, they were flown in country only. The AH-1s were rejected for the existing UH-1Bs flexibility in gunship configuration. Since a typical SEAL team was small compared to the typical Army unit, the Seawolves could still provide fire support AND insert/exfil with the extra space in the Huey. The Seawolves simply determined the extra hassle of a second type wasn't worth it over the marginal improvement in fire power.

Price increases for the New Year across the board at Omega. $7200 MSRP for the sapphire crystal version Moonwatch - ridiculous!
