I remember the special, air mail envelopes. Always felt like an important message was being sent, regardless of the contents. Special envelope, special stamps. Well, here’s one from the 1960’s.

Mention of Pan American Airways brings plenty of nostalgia with it. Here’s the reverse with the Aruba post mark.

Little items like this make for great writing inspiration. They’ll show up in my stories soon.
Medevac Mastery
Was interesting to see all the options for a medevac helicopter at the HeliExpo this week.
Not only was the equipment impressive, but the pilots, flight nurses, and medics all demonstrated an exceptional level of knowledge and capability. It’s good to know there are people and equipment at the ready in case of the worst. And it’s only getting better. It’s amazing what they can pack into a flying machine. Hopefully, I never need one.
