Hey you guys! I just went through Howard Ohlson's marvelous OV-1.com Guestbook (http://www.ov-1.com/roster/index.php) and searched the 225th Aviation Company's entries (and found several guys that I did not have on my email alert list.
You might want to take a look at it and update your own info or jot a note another Blackhawk/Phantomhawk you've been looking for. It's a great resource for all Mohawkers!

"Remember Me"
George Drago sent this to me some time ago. This was first put on the Internet on November 11, 2011. It’s powerful. Lizzie Palmer, who put this YouTube program together, is 15 years old. There have been nearly 31,000,000 hits as of today. In case you missed it, here it is.
Watch all of it..(and you will)... and, pass it on!!
From Steve Hammons and Bucky Buchanan
Steve Hammons sent this along for your enjoyment. Thanks Steve!
How I Became A Pilot
One of the questions from the career placement test given applicants for a military commission.
"Rearrange the letters P N E S I to spell out an important part of human body that is more useful when erect!"
Those who spell spine become doctors...the rest go to flight school...
And then…………
Go to the link below to see Bucky Buchanan’s story about a very eventful mission he flew with MAJ Marc Poe. Bucky sent this to me around 2001 and it was on the web for a while; I know many of you haven’t seen it before. Thanks again Bucky for sending this to us!

Youtube Video of a GANG Mohawk
I found this online today and thought I'd share it all with you. There is a little misinformation in this guy's narration, and I wouldn't want to fly with him if his hands are as shakey as the video he took, but all in all it is a good closeup picture of fully restored Mohawk. Just click on the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3bGLS-IgG0.

The 225th's Hawks
Some time ago my iMac's hard drive crashed )can you believe it!?) and with it my video of our Mohawks set to the music of the Beach Boys. Well, yesterday I took about 3 hours and rebuilt it, adding a couple of new shots that I had not had previously. Take a look and let me know what you think.
