We grunts always give pilots a lot of crap about crew rest, and driving buses...the MEDEVAC guys, never. They are our Angels of Mercy...the call goes out, and they're there as soon as humanly possible. They are the Golden Hour saviors on the battlefield, along with a bunch of doctors and nurses who live in the same crappy circumstances we do.
Steve Smith was apparently one of those Angels...my thoughts are with him. Thanks for posting this and your experience meeting a good guy.

My first troops begin to rotate home tomorrow, we follow in 20 or so days. We'll drink a toast to this fallen pilot, and all our fallen soldiers on Halloween.
