Was it still called the “Desert Duck” then? That’s what we called the H3 making rounds in the 90’s. The helo crew had a game of stamping duck feet on the flight deck and the flight deck crew would retaliate with a ship’s sticker slapped on the side of the aircraft.
Yeah figuring out and maneuvering for a desired wind envelope isn’t that hard, unless you’re dodging oil tankers or platforms. I did work alongside some pretty thick JO’s however.
