When Williams used the term, ‘we’ were shot at, he did so in context of his group of helicopters flying into a forward area....A helicopter can fly over 100 MPH. He was an hour behind the shooting. How can he say “we”? I was flying in the sky at this time to go on vacation. Can I say I got shot at?
My impression was the pilot of his aircraft was in visual contact with the hit aircraft and as a singular mission, they all remained as an intact unit, until others could be sent to either remove or repair the damaged copter.
Were they from separate squadrons/sorties?
