Gabriel ... Now that is a name I have not heard on a long, long time.

So, I take it the Gabriel Demonstrations have gone the way of the Passenger Pigeon? Not that I was particularly fond of Smoke Eater duty. But, the demos at least were professional and had dignity...

My favorite memory of Gabriel Demos-"I speak Norwegian, German and have a working knowledge of English."
Everyone on the site who has done a Gabriel Demonstration, hands up!

Mine? Twice, 7th Group, 1976. Rappel Tower. And yes, there was a Fulton recovery (cargo), Psyops Leaflet drop of the VIPS, and a Heliocourier making a 100 meter landing and takeoff.
