Medic! 30 Cal Eagle Dustoff

[plano_harry]

I had a customer who wanted a pen for her father. Turns out he was a medical evac helicopter pilot in Vietnam. I am thinking great opportunity to try a ptownsubbie Army bullet. She wasn't too sure about the bullet and I said "oh yeah, he's gonna want that!" She got a picture of his unit patch, and zazzle! converted it to a sticker - better image than the decals I used to make. You can even see the dirt on the thread border! Jungle camo blank and I was in business. Decided to go satin (MM 1500) because I thought it fit camo better.

Especially fun for me because I was an engineer at Bell Helicopter in my early days and did rotor dynamics on the Hueys and Cobras. Who'd a thought?

C&C's and funny stories always welcome!
