Description

Stationed in Germany with their families, they were two military brats who met and became highschool sweethearts. The young man went off to college. The girl followed him. "In those days (1963) you had to be married in order to leave Germany together. We felt two could live cheaper than one," Anna confirmed with a gleam in her eye, "so we eloped."This was the romantic beginning for Ross and Anna Scott, the husband and wife team and owner/operators of Sunshine Helicopters.Both attended the University of Washington in Seattle. The year was 1965. Our country was at war in Vietnam but Ross took a sabatical from college and was hired by Boeing as a design engineer to work on the development of their new 737 airplane. Shortly afterwards, Ross was drafted. Not wanting to be a foot soldier, Ross signed up for the Army Helicopter Flight Training Program. He quickly discovered his love for flying and became a gunship pilot. During his one year tour of duty, Ross saw a lot of action and was awarded the Purple Heart and two Distinguished Flying Crosses for his bravery in the field. At age 25, Ross was the senior pilot and platoon leader of his unit.
