Starting a reading list for the helo guys. If these selections don't inspire, educate, and motivate, you, report immediately to Medical to make sure you have a pulse. All these are available on Amazon.com.
NONFICTION
Rescue Pilot by Dan McKinnon - Cold War veteran HUP-2 pilot gives an excellent portrayal of small-boy life and SAR ops.
Seawolves: First Choice by Daniel E. Kelly - Former Huey door gunner gives the aircrew perspective of SPECWAR and CSAR in the "brown water" navy in Vietnam.
FICTION
North SAR by Gerry Carrol - Great novel by former H-3 pilot about SAR and battle group ops at Yankee Station during the Vietnam War. Jet guys will like it too since the co-main character is an A-7 driver.
Feel free to add to the list! Let's hear from our USMC and USCG rotary brethren as well. Remember - to fly is human but to hover is divine!
LUCK = THE INTERSECTION OF PREPARATION AND OPPORTUNITY
