Whoa, flashback city. I once spent a week on the ground outside a small west Texas town called Wink. Most famous for the huge sinkhole that developed there once. Our scout chopper popped a tail rotor chip light while we were landing there to refuel and we had to wait for maintenance to come out and fix it. They changed the oil, then the gearbox, and then the sensor and still the light would come on when the engine spooled up. They finally figured out the light socket in the dashboard was shorting.
The thing I remember most about Wink was the utter isolation and the huge jackrabbits you'd see tearing across the fields. Those things are fast.
