REUNITED Museum dedicates Huey gunship to former pilot By Nathan Pfau Army Flier Staff Writer It’s a rare thing when a piece of Aviation history in can be tied directly to a veteran, but in one ex- traordinary coincidence, a Huey gunship that flew over the skies of Vietnam found its way back to Fort Rucker and the Aviator that piloted it. A UH-1C Huey, serial number 15156, was dedi- cated to its former pilot, Terry Morris, Vietnam veteran, and added to the U.S. Army Aviation Museum’s visible collection during a ceremony Dec. 6, but the story of how the dedication became possible is as rare as they come, according to Bob Mitchell, museum curator. The aircraft sat in museum storage for years when Mitchell happened upon the Huey after go- ing through the collection with the hopes of config- uring some of the UH-1s into the various configu- rations of the gunships used during the Vietnam War. “I started doing some research and found that this particular aircraft was in the 116th (Assault PHOTO BY NATHAN PFAU Helicopter Company), the 191st and the 240th,” Soldiers take part in the Army Physical Fitness Test portion of the A Co., 1st Bn., 13th Avn.

    2 To John and Jean McDougall , my parents , who gave me everything and keep on giving 3 CHAPTER 1 To live with ghosts requires solitude. —ANNE M ICHAELS , Fugitive Pieces FOR DAYS, I’d been searching Mexico’s Sierra Madre for the phantom known as Caballo Blanco—the White Horse. I’d finally arrived at the end of the trail, in the last place I expected to find him—not deep in the wilderness he was said to haunt, but in the dim lobby of an old hotel on the edge of a dusty desert town.! “Sí, El Caballo está ,” the desk clerk said, nodding. Yes, the Horse is here. “For real?” After hearing that I’d just missed him so many times, in so many bizarre locations, I’d begun to suspect that Caballo Blanco was nothing more than a fairy tale, a local Loch Ness mons-truo dreamed up to spook the kids and fool gullible gringos. “He’s always back by five,” the clerk added. “It’s like a ritual.” I didn’t know whether to hug her in relief or high-five her in triumph. I checked my watch. That meant I’d actually lay eyes on the ghost in less than … hang on. “But it’s already after six.” The clerk shrugged. “Maybe he’s gone away.” I sagged into an ancient sofa. I was filthy, famished, and defeated. I was exhausted, and so were my leads. Some said Caballo Blanco was a fugitive; others heard he was a boxer who’d run off to punish himself after beating a man to death in the ring.

    Northern Lakes Canoe Base -Packing List Bring extra clothes for sight-seeing and the trip home! Clothing: It is best to bring loose fitting, durable, warm clothes [] Appropriate number of underwear [] Three cotton or “quick dry” T-shirts (no tank tops) [] Two long-sleeved cotton or “quick dry” shirts to protect from sun and bugs [] One warm long-sleeved fleece or wool shirt or sweater [] Two pair long pants (lightweight cotton or quick dry nylon dries faster, no denim, and stretchy yoga pants tend to be wet and heavy) [] One pair shorts [] One set lightweight long underwear or flannel PJs (No gowns) [] One bathing suit (We suggest an older one, it will get a lot of use) [] Small stocking cap (winter type hat) [] Four light-weight pairs of wool or fleece hiking socks (1 pair can be cotton) Clothing Packing Tips *Have various sized (2 gal., gallon, quart) Ziploc or other plastic bags to pack all belongings in. Bring a few extra Ziploc’s, as we will do some re-packing upon arrival. Large ones are important because your sweater/fleece and dry shoes will need to be put in Ziploc’s, too, so they will be dry when you get to camp. *Layers of clothing are best; the weather is always changing and can be cold. *Sweatshirts and jeans are not recommended because they are heavy, especially when wet Foot Gear (2 pair: 1 pair of boots, 1 pair gym shoes) Sturdy Boots that are broken in…read this carefully! Feet will be wet 75% of the time. A lightweight hiking or field boot is best.

PHYSICAL STORAGE: Downsview Offsite Storage; OVS in Basement 1B and 2B Annex. EXTENT: 282 bankers boxes of textual, visual and audio-visual records (plus 19 flat/oversize boxes, and items on shelf). SCOPE AND CONTENT: Includes corporate files from the Canadian Bata Shoe Company (including correspondence; legal and financial records; product development, marketing and promotional files; technical and production-related files, and human resources files). The bulk of the material was created by the Canadian Bata company, however many records relate to several of the oraganization’s international outposts, including companies headed in Africa, India, Asia and Europe. The collection also includes press clippings and other publications about the Bata Company and its historical significance. There are also a small number of Bata family records, primarily for Thomas J. Bata (1914-2008), Sonja I. Bata, Tomáš Baťa (1876- 1932) and Marie Bata. The collection is comprised of textual records, digital records, photographs and slides, as well as a large volume of audio-visual material: audio recordings on magnetic tape reels and cassette tapes, and video recordings on DVD, VHS, Beta, and U-matic tapes, as well as 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm film. ARCHIVAL HISTORY: The material in this collection was selected, gathered and described over a period of several years by Bata employees and professional archivists hired by the company as part of their internal Bata Archives Canada initiative. Many records have been excluded and, at various points, rearranged, thus this collection should not be considered a complete archive of the Canadian Bata Shoe Company.
