Taking off from Enari into darkened sky.
This poster was hung on my hooch door at Camp Enari.

All that remains of my ship 022 after being hit by 2.75 rocket fired by one of our Gunships. Crew chief Chris Murphree (deceased) and an avionics mechanic were working on the ship when it was hit. Miraculously they both escaped injury.
A view showing the foam that was used to try and put out the fire. No one was able to get close to the ship while the 7.62 ammo cooked off.
You can see the Gun ship in the background which fired the rockets that struck and destroyed 022 and also hit the Armorers Jeep.
Foam covers the remnants of 022.
