Frequently Asked Questions

What's the ThePaveCave.com website about?

It is a gathering place for the members of the PAVE LOW community, maintenance or operations, past or present, as well as an informational site for visitors interested in learning about the H-53 PAVE LOW helicopters and the airmen who maintained and flew them. Since the PAVE LOW has been retired, we hope to serve in a more historical aspect.

How is the site funded?

Originally, we had many who donated funds to keep the site going. In 2008, The PAVE Cave became a business and I use the profits from the merchandise sold to fund the site. We also have an associate account with Amazon, which can pay us dividends based on products bought through our site.


Can anyone suggest changes to the site?

Yes. I don't claim to be a professional web designer by any means and I will gladly take suggestions to make this site the best it can be.

If anyone has pictures, videos, documents, etc. that they would like to see on here, please send them to me. When sending in pictures or videos, try to only send interesting items (i.e. there's a million pics of a PAVE, but not all are picturesque).

My information is wrong/missing in the lineage, how do I get it fixed?

Send me an email to either add or edit your information and I will post it as soon as possible.

What happens to the photos, videos, documents, etc that I submitted and will they be seen on the website?

All media collected is stored on the server and backed up on my hard drive. Since I sometimes recieve thousands of items, it takes time to go through them all. Each must be reviewed to ensure no classified information is present and that it is in good taste prior to being published. Unless otherwise stated or requested, all media submitted becomes property of The Pave Cave and we then reserve the right to allow media outlets, publishers, authors, etc use of the media.
