Hi all,
 
Catching up with movements here in Louisiana. I can't remember when I last  
sent a log so I'll just send everything from the last month or so.
 
Alexandria IAP (AEX) late March:

The 47th FS was here as the Barksdale runway was closed. They stayed here  as 
they were taking part in an Air Warrior at Fort Polk. All departed by 2  
April.
Work sent me to Pennsylvania for a week, as I was leaving on the  27th, I 
think it must have been an AN-124 or two had disgorged 18 OH-58D's.  No serials 
unfortunately. On my return (fools day), another selection of 101st  Airborne 
helicopters had taken up residence at AEX. Most stayed until the  18th of 
April, a few may still remain. I haven't been over there this week.  Anyway, 
visitors for the month so far:

The DM Hogs were there for another Air Warrior. All were still present  today 
and have been using the usual AW callsigns, CASINO etc
