Not a small piece of hardware to be lugging around Iraq.

Kudos also to whoever designed and produced the canopy!

Just so happens I am in Tucson not far from the Pima Air and Space Museum. My grandson will be here after Christmas and we will visit the museum to see this piece of history.

His Dad was a helicopter pilot in Nam and lost his life to cancer in 1993. Larry was 44 years at the time of his death and Agent Orange was blamed for the cancer.

Whether this is true or not we'll never know.

I do know his son will appreciate seeing the canopy and that the pilot survived.

Wonderful story, thanks for posting.
