National Guard helicopter lands on private property; elk antlers stolen

I believe you, alecvg. Exhausting. I quickly learn to avoid them.

Happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.
I recently had the privilege of working with a former F18/35 pilot. He is one of the most humble and hard working people I’ve been around.

My uncle flew in Viet Nam and then was an Alaska bush pilot for many years. I’d say the same about him.
 
I am on a board with a retired pilot. While I respect him for his service, he is the most nauseating person I know. I started timing how long it would take in a board meeting for him to bring it up, last night it was 30 seconds. Came up another half dozen times during the 45 minute meeting.
Wait until he flips vegan. You ain't heard nothing yet.
 
Feel free to substantively refute anything I have posted as fact. I'll admit I was wrong and apologize if I was.
Feel free to point out one fact in your post that I replied to. Speculation and conjecture designed to demean and generally cause “hate and discontent” is all I see but you do you.
 
Update…looks like they are facing criminal trespassing charges:
The excuse of being young and dumb kind of goes out the window. 30, 30, and 36. Plenty of dumb 30+ year-olds out there (might even be a few around these parts), but I figure by your 30's, whatever dumb is left is probably sticking around.

Also all from Montana. My earlier assertion that there may have been a lack of understanding of value is entitely false.

No one from the areas they are from, their age, wouldnt know or understand the value.

Theyre cooked.

Who’s saying they’re young and dumb? Some of you need to look up the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect.

For the last 3 decades, if you are in the National Guard, and the nation goes to war, bet you are going to get called up.
My buddy who finished his 20 years with the guard less then 5 years ago had 2 overseas deployments one in Iraq one in Afghanistan. Now on the flip side of that I have it on very good authority that the guard at least here in Oklahoma of the 60s-80s was a much different beast. Lots of guys using it for weekend camping and drinking trips was not unheard of at all and pretty common. My grandpa had a few good stories about trying to rein in guardsmen who were having to good a time and exercises that weren't exactly by the book.20250516_104117.jpg
 
If I ever get back in the HAATS facility at the Eagle County Airport I'll snap of pick of their 30+ elk antlers all up attached to their 2nd story balcony. Lots of nice sheds. Copter trophies.

* I"M NOT INFERRING THAT THEY GOT THEM ON PRIVATE PROPERTY
That course was pretty awesome.
