I'm sure it's not as much as some of the Navy Nuke bonus' but I've had a few of my guys get 15 to 20K because of their career fields (Enlisted Aviator, Loadmasters).

I recognized the helo squadron destinator. Spent a lot of time in Army Hueys and Blackhawks back in the mid-80's down in Central America, so I know the ride style.

Remember, these cars are almost five years old now. I got mine new and tax exempts, combat pay plus per diem helped pay it off early. Now it goes into mods and fixing up my old '70 Mach.

Most people don't spend much time thinking about it but ........... helicopters spend much of their time at cruise, very close to Mach1. When you consider the main rotor tip velocity for the advancing blade at cruise, that thing is hauling azz.
