1974-1978, I was stationed at DET 22, Mtn Home AFB. I remember transtioning from ARRS to RWRW. We flew support during the Teton Dam collaps in Eastern Idaho and countless MAST Missions. We held a Det 22 Reunion at MUO In 2010 which was attended by over 40 folks that had been assigned to Det 22. Fond memories and some nightmares of flying these 3 helicopters including 69-6666
