Sky King...King of Pucker (Is that Kristofferson singing? He was a rated helicopter pilot in the Army before he went pro with his music career.) _________________ "All facts go to clearly prove that Shades is a thrice-cursed traitor & mentally deranged person steeped in inveterate enmity toward mankind"

kinda sounds like Kris don't it. A great story of Kris pitching the song "Sunday Morning Coming Down" to Johnny Cash. He landed a helicopter in Cash's yard. It wasn't mentioned in this version but I saw a documentary on Johnny Cash and he said Kris stepped out of the Chopper with a beer in his hand. True or not makes a good tale. www.tcmradio.com/news/May/May20.htm _________________

Clearly JG300 material. We're not actively "recruiting", but if he wants to submit an application.... Wink

That article references a tour in Vietnam. I've never seen any support for that assertion. Kristofferson did achieve the rank of Captain and was a rated helicopter pilot, but it's my understanding that his overseas posting was Germany and that he separated from the service ~1964.
