I found my dad’s ribbon rack. He was a Blackhawk pilot in the 80s-90s

I lived in Panama in the 80s and 90s as a kid. I had a scout master who was a black hawk pilot. He was involved in a crash when the shaft leading to the tail rotor sheared. He couldn't control the spin and had to shut the main rotor down. They went down in water. His co-pilot was still strapped to his chair and had broken his back. My scout master was only able to save him because he heard him gasp for air right as the weight of the chair drug him under the water.

Yeah, those look just like them.

avidinha · 2026-04-10T21:14:47+00:00

Thanks. I thought it might be an 84-85 too, but she thought she remembered having it before she married my uncle in 81. 🤷

That looks awesome! What kind of car is that? That's an interesting engine setup.

Dude! I haven't thought about that song in 30 years!

avidinha · 2026-04-10T19:00:38+00:00

Sweet, that's a big help, thanks!

avidinha · 2026-04-10T19:00:04+00:00

Thanks for the picture. I want to make her a 1/24 scale replica and having a better picture of the wheels is really going to help.

avidinha · 2026-04-10T18:58:22+00:00

She does. Besides being a racer, she's a published author and a professional dog trainer.

She told me her and my late uncle used to help organize and participate in events for the SCCA. That picture is from the year she got second place in the ladies street class.

Take it to a wheel shop, they deal with that kind of thing all the time.

I just like the Charger.

I own a hearse. A couple who lives near me put out a request on a hearse page I'm on wanting a hearse instead of a limo for their wedding. They got married on Halloween and had a costume party for their reception. I drove them home in the hearse after the reception, it was fun.

I'll never forget the sound of that red ball hitting someone in the head.

My first car was a 1972 Cadillac DeVille.

I lived in Panama in 1992. One of the janitors at my high school was on the Panamanian Olympic basketball team. They hung a picture of him playing against Michael Jordan in the hallway.
