….but you can’t beat our tailgates (stolen shamelessly from the VMI alumni message boards).
There was one exciting moment at the W&M game. I arrived late with a BR and as we were about to troop from around Commandant’s house across parade ground (a deck is in the back of my house) to the stadium, two Naval Service helicopters landed behind Stonewalls Statue (show and tell after the game) and the downdraft promptly blew away the first row of tents to include food, chairs, etc. set up in tailgate area of parade ground. The Parents Council area was devastated. After determining nobody got hurt, it was worth a laugh and a fine prelude to the game which followed. I think the pilots were from the damp side of the Naval Service – undoubtedly USMC pilots would have taken out more tents.

Attention VMI helicopter pilots! I’ve found an LZ for The Military Classic of the South. Land here:
ha!
Heh. Thanks for the chuckle, I needed that today.
I *heard* that one of the Navy pilots was an 89-er… I’ll have to research…
Loved The Pix! Did they charge the Copper Pilots $10.00 for landing on The Parade ground?
Only @ VMI!!!
heh, I wonder if they ever told anyone they were coming.
Kind of looks unannounced, doesn’t it?
Oh, those helo-blowjobs ….
Land here only if you want to donate your choppers to the greatest school in AMERICA
(keep up the good work)
