| Commander of C Company, 159th Aviation Regiment - "Flippers", from November 97 to 9 July 99. Major Anest was selected for promotion to Lieutenant Colonel and made a permanent member of the Flipper Alumni. "Take care of your people, and the mission will naturally follow." Having been one of the finest commanders the Flippers have ever known, he went on to serve the 18th Aviation Brigade Commander as the S-3 for a short period before moving on to his new assignment in Brussels, Belgium. |

| Bill, formerly the Production Control Officer, was a really great test pilot and extremely skilled in the ways of the Chinook. His retirement from active duty is the Army's greatest loss. |
 |
| Mike was one of the definitive Flight Engineers that make flying so rewarding. His aircraft was always ready to go and maintained in an immaculate condition. One almost didn't want to fly 85-24336 while Mike crewed it, out of fear of breaking it or getting it dirty. |

| Well respected for his outstanding abilities as a CH-47D helicopter Flight Engineer, Paul demonstrates that he is also uniquely capable of locating any Chinook anywhere on the flight line. Additionally, he looks a lot like a former commander when the light hits him just right. (See photo at top of page) |
 |
| A great Technical Inspector and all around nice guy, "Fitz" (nobody knows his real name) is captured on film counting. Having mastered the number two, he plans to move on and become a Aviation Warrant Officer, hoping to someday pilot the mighty Chinook. |

| Steve, who was once the Flippers only token Spot, was also known as our little ray of hope and sunshine in an otherwise dull world. He is seen here sort of demonstrating his superior ability to hand salute a senior officer, CW3 Fox. Steve served for a time as the Platoon Leader for the Allied Shops Platoon. Eventually, Mr. Fox taught him to walk on his own, sit up, roll over and bark like a dog. |
