Nice ride Fred!
My 15 *seconds* of fame was back around 2000/2001 when I appeared
briefly in Nova's "Volcanoes of the Deep" on at my old job which
involved diving in the ALVIN on hydrothermal vents.

Frank Sinatra came TO ME twice asking me to work for him You could tell he was frustated that I didn't come see him afterthe first time he asked me.
ended with, "If you EVER EVER, need work you come see me, I'll take good care of you.
Why didn't I? YOUNG (20-21) AND STUPID?

OK, I'll bite. It's winter. Even here in the Sonoran desert it hasn't gone much above 60 at the highest temps of the day so I can imagine not many of us are out on the road. So here's what I do in my spare time. You can see some of my local riding area in the background.
The first one made it all the way to the Super Bowl. I'm thinking that was my 15th or 16th car I've done. Lots of other stuff, too.

I just put the planes, jumpers, location, and ground crew together, then coordinate the drops. I don't get any of the 'fame' in terms of being on the screen, but they all know who I am. Chucking shit out of planes is my specialty, and it is a very cool job! It's fun to go out to the impact area on the KLR.
But tomorrow there's no fame. I'll clean my chain. It's dusty here. Then I'll go ride out into the desert for a bit and maybe pick up some stuff in town. God bless the KLRs!

Fred,
That is pretty amazing!
Well,
I interdicted piracy (1992)on the high seas while doing counter-drug ops off the coast of Panama!
Scared the crap out of the pirates when I hovered near their longboats while they were inside ransacking/raiding a double decker barge pulled by a sea going tug/tow. (It was being dragged on a 1/2 mile of cable.)
They boiled out of the interior deck like...
like...
pirates who had the crap scared out of them.
I will say, I was none to bold.
Flying an unarmed helo, I was concerned they might have me out gunned.
Seems there is an abundance of AK-47's in that part of the world, though, I did not see any of them that day.
Sigh.
Not one credit on the 5.30 pm news.
The incident did make the P.Cola base newspaper. yawn.
Still no byline; FULL CREDIT to the USS WASP; HA!
It took them 6+ hours (due to the distance) to intercept/board the US flagged barge and by then, the pirates were long gone.
or
there was the time (Oct 1987) I was intercepted by a [very stupid pilot] Greek F-5 over the Aegean in international airspace...if I had had a missile, I would have shot him. These pecker heads love to come in behind/below you and zoom climb just in front of you. An incredibly stupid and dangerous maneuver.
Appearantly, JCS got briefed on that one. shrug.
and I did once cause a Tunisian F-5 come take a look at me as well...while flying in international airspace; at least that is my story. smile.
The perfect gentleman.
We showed him a tall bottle of Coca-Cola and he gave us a big grin and a thumbs up.
and now,
we are relegated to telling campfire stories about the 'most dangerous conditions' where we changed a flat tire. grin.
revmaaatin.

That was way cool!
I was wondering how they (you) were going to get the car stabilized for chute deployment.
Looks like the chute has some sort of explosive that pushes it way clear, and/or was it deployed remotely when an acceptable attituce was reached?
I used to drive the bus while others exited (2d Marine Recon/ANGLACO); some more successfully than others, nothing as sexy as this!
revmaaatin.
