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.

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:

Hope someone finds this useful.
