Title: Scott Coon From Enterprise, Alabama Part Of Medivac Team At School
Post by: Henry on March 02, 2007, 11:36:30 AM

Hi All,

Just spoke with Scott's Dad, Sterling Coon to check to see if Scott was ok.  Sterling said he was fine and part of the Medivac Team helping out after the Hurricane at the school --  If I understood right I think Sterling said he was a Helicopter Pilot -- My hearing on the phone is not good, so if anyone wants to send me a note and correct what I said, please do so.

Grandpa,
I believe you were heard correctly.  I recalled hearing Scott was a pilot, just not sure where.

Hi All,

Received this note from Sterling & Janet Coon with some further explanation -- Truly appreciate this as now I know the information is correct:

"HI HENRY, THANK YOU FOR THE ARTICLE ON YOUR WEB SITE ABOUT SCOTT. A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ON HIS JOB AT FORT RUCKERS IN ENTERPRISE AL.  HE HAS JUST GRADUATED FROM FLIGHT SCHOOL AS AN ARMY CHINOOK HELICOPTER PILOT LAST MONTH.  HE IS NOW ASSIGNED TO THE MEDIVAC UNIT THERE TRAINING TO PILOT THE HUEY MEDIVAC HELICOPTER. HE WILL BE THERE FOR TWO YEARS.
 
   SCOTT. HIS WIFE TONI, AND DAUGHTER MAKAYLA SURVIVED THE TORNADO AND THERE HOME WAS SPARED.  BOTH SAID IT WAS VERY SCARY.  WHEN SCOTT FLEW FROM HIS BASE TO THE HIGH SCHOOL RIGHT AFTER THE TORNADO HIT, HE SAID IT WAS THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE THING HE HAD EVER SEEN.  IT WAS EVEN WORSE WHEN THEY LANDED THE THE SCHOOL.  HE HAD WORKED ALL DAY FRIDAY AND WILL BE BACK AGAIN ON SAT. TO HELP WITH THE CLEAN UP. 
      WE ARE VERY THANKFUL THEY ARE ALL OK. 
                           
                                   JANET AND STERLING COON"
