Hey. Give Nickel Creek a try. Their first album is what some people call "newgrass". I really like the music that these kids put out. For a trio of teenagers from So. Cal., they really know how to play.

Their newer stuff fades away from the true bluegrass "feel", but I think it's still great music. Many of the tracks, both new and old, give the "the chills" too!

I've been having horrible results to the Atlanta server lately. Try the Tallahassee or another reasonably close. Or even try a server that would be close to a major backbone, like Dallas or DC.

These are UH-60 "Black Hawk" helicopters. Read on for specs...

MISSION

Provide air assault, general support, aeromedical evacuation, command and control and special operations support to combat and stability and support operations.

ENTERED ARMY SERVICE

1979

DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS

The UH 60 Black Hawk is a utility tactical transport helicopter that replaces the UH-1 "Huey". The versatile Black Hawk has enhanced the overall mobility of The Army, due to dramatic improvements in troop capacity and cargo lift capability, and will serve as The Army's utility helicopter in the Objective Force. On the asymmetric battlefield, it provides the commander the agility to get to the fight quicker and to mass effects throughout the battlespace across the full spectrum of conflict. An entire 11-person, fully-equipped infantry squad can be lifted in a single Black Hawk, transported faster than in predecessor systems, in most weather conditions. The Black Hawk can reposition a 105 mm Howitzer, its crew of six, and lift up to 30 rounds of ammunition in a single lift. The aircraft's critical components and systems are armored or redundant, and its airframe is designed to progressively crush on impact to protect the crew and passengers.
