    While in the Army, I was a UH-1H Huey Helicopter crewchief/mechanic/door gunner. We transitioned to UH-60A models. It is a fantastic bird. When I found your channel and your purchase of a UH-60 along with all your other videos, It hooked me. Your channel is a daily watch for me and can't get enough. At first I just thought your channel was a Rotorhead only channel. But not the case obviously. Love it!!!!

Loved every minute and each piece of equipment i got to operate was more exciting than the last! I'm retired now but still get excited when you get these giant babies running!

    I enjoy watching Alan work. I grew up in northwest Montana with ranchers and loggers; he reminds me of those men: get what needs to be done with what you have on hand: just make it happen. Diesel Dave personifies the ethic I learned from them too. These guys, Hunter and the rest of the team make a dynamic crew…about the only men who can keep up with Heavy D and his drive. “Heavy” D: Driven Dave the Dreamer and Dynamic-Leader (I couldn’t come up with an appropriate D word for a strong leader without negative connotation like Dominion or such, because from what I see and people who I know who know him, he is not that way. A fellow Utah resident, we cross paths occasionally.
    My favorite story is my daughter was working in a Maverick gas station and the Sparks crew stopped for fuel; coming from a big recovery job, a couple guys tracked dirt in the store and Dave got a broom and cleaned it up. ❤

      With enough panels, sure. How much "enough" is will depend heavilly on how much sun the area gets and whether you need to keep the system running overnight.

      @@nathandean1687 I should have been more specific; LiFePo. The nickel iron (NiFe) is a viable solution for a fixed installation, much less so as a mobile power storage solution. Also, the internal resistance makes the NiFe ~65% efficient when charging, wasting ~35% to heat. When charging with solar and looking for low weight and high efficiency this is a hard pill to swallow.
