Thanks, Doc. Nice write-up!
When I was a rookie K9 handler, our sheriff’s office flew air support for us in Bell 47’s. As primitive as they were, I felt good when one orbited with their Night Sun and lit us up when we caught a felon and needed ground units to come in to cuff. We later worked with Bell Jet Rangers and Aerospatiale AStars, but I still remember the distinctive sound of the 47’s piston engine. Brave guys flew those ops.
