Hey everyone! It's me Mark Thompson and I wanted to say hello since it has been soo long since I was last on the forum. My handle on the old site was "UH-60 Pilot" but I'm here on the new site as "Mad Mosquito" to honor my late father and the name of what was our jointly owned Mosquito XEL to establish some continuity with the legacy that he left behind. I'm sorry if my absence has disappointed any of you or left you feeling empty in any way. Not that I think I'm that wonderful but because soo many of you are and have been soo good to me along the way especially Dwight & Robin, Paul, Mike Messex, Mike Marshal, Lorne, Phillip, Leo, Bob Mason, La Don and many more.
It has been almost four years since I left Texas and moved back to Seoul, South Korea where I am a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter instructor pilot. I work for the U.S. Army as a civilian teaching and evaluating Army pilots. I miss flying the EC 145 and the Super Huey from my old job with Travis County STAR Flight in Austin, TX and getting to fight fires and do hoist rescues but I am enjoying flying the Black hawk again and flying along the DMZ which is where my expertise is most realized. I have been back to the U.S. twice and both times I have made it to Trenton to see everyone at the factory. Yes, I still have my Mosquito Mafia jacket and i do wear it over here in Korea.
I look forward to engaging in some good discussions with you all again and I'd like to thank Mike "Fly Guy" Marshal for pushing me to get back on the forum.
