U.S. Army Warrant Officers Heyward Lindler and Tommy Perry, and Sgt. 1st Class Greg Castles, Detachment 1, Co. B, 2-238th General Support Aviation Battalion, 59th Aviation Troop Command, discuss technical topics and issues among themselves and with 10th Mountain Division's Soldiers, Fort Drum, NY, Aug.18, 2016. Heyward, Perry, and Castles were part of the crew that flew “Guard Copter 368,” one of the few CH-47D originally built as “true D-models,” at the end of the First Gulf War during its last mission. 368 served with Det.1 for the last ten years, to include the 2009 and 2013 deployments to Afghanistan; during its service, “368” earned a reputation for reliability and sturdiness among the unit’s pilots, maintainers and crew-chiefs. This last mission included a brief stop at Fort Drum, NY, where one of the two crews received from the 10th Mountain Division a newer CH-47F, as a replacement for their retiring D-model.
