Tango 45 on SS 182

Gulf of Mexico

The Bell 206B helicopter that I flew on my offshore job for Tenneco, call sign Tango 45.
Sitting on my home platform Ship Shoal 182, 120 miles from my base at
Intercoastal City, Louisiana. I would fly this helicopter from IC each Thursday and
navigate by wet compass, my watch, and dead reckoning as there was no "real" navigation
equipment on this "field ship".

I was a mechanic for PHI from 1978 to 1981 and was working on SS 182 for about nine months circa 1979. I have a ton of slides I took there and I need to digitize them.
