Closest drag strip is Montgomery (about 90 miles north).
First Saturday of every month there is a cruise-in in Enterprise. Usually a couple F-bodies, sometimes a good bit.
Other than that no one really gets together around here anymore.

The one up here in Montgomery is pretty nice actually. They run full quarter Friday nights 7pm to 11pm (or whenever). Whether or not the track prep is great depends on what's going down on Saturday, so watch the schedule online, and try to plan to go on nights before big weekend events.

Look in the photo section for some action pics of my car.
If you would like directions, just pm me.

What platform are you aiming for - Longbow Apache, Blackhawk, Chinook or Kiowa D model gunship?
Or are you going to fly the TH-67 (FAA bird)?
Since Rucker is the home of Army Aviation I figure your not comming just for the clam chowder or chili...lol.
We all start out in the th-67...
Then branch out from there. You don't know what you'll be until you finish primary and instruments in the th-67 and your advanced airframe choice is weighted by your class rank

They put you in those to start learning because they expect you to crash from time to time, and its much cheaper to crash a 4 million dollar bird than a 22 million dollar Apache or a 20 million dollar Blackhawk.
Not to worry thou, we paint much of the bird orange so we can find you better when you crash.
My original question was simply to ask you which platform you prefered to fly, if you had the choice.

Rucker has 174 TH 67's and only about 35-40 Kiowa A/C. The ARH's should start arriving around Jan. unless it has been moved back again.
I've flown OH-58A/C's in BWS out at Shell Field, which is an entirely different phase. Like a new, shorter version of the old BCS. They are transitioning to the TH-67A+ though.
We won't have any ARH's in Jan. Original plan was to get them last year, but no dice. The Army won't see them for another couple of years (if then), Rucker won't see them until then.
And TC Calvin's helo was a Hughes 500. The ARH is loosely based on the Bell 407

As far as the ARH I'm glad to hear it will be delayed even longer than I thought, with the 60 M model comming on board soon thats one less platform I'll have to deal with.
I've not had time to actually see what the ARH bird looks like, but I was in a meeting with the Maj Gen a few months ago and when he asked for a description it was described as not unlike the Magnum series bird.
Again I stand corrected.
Once again, welcome to Ft Rucker!

Your right, I am not coming for the clam chowder. I will be flying the UH-60s.
Where are the tuners around here?
