Brings back some nostalgic memories......Having spend 2 tours in VN and well over 1000 hours in the UH-1 OH-23 and OH-6 as a crew-chief/doorgunner, I can tell ya it was a love/hate relationship for me.....shot down twice... shot up more times then I'd like to count, it always amazed me how good the pilots were in bad situations....God Bless ‘em all!...

as to fixed-wing VS. fling-wing.....Give me the fling-wing every time!!!!....(if nothing else, its good for the heart rate and adrenal gland)

I’ve only made two Huey flights in my life. Flew from Tan Son Nhut up to Nui Ba Den. Anybody who says that he wasn’t scared shirtless on his first flight over Injun Country is either lying though his teeth or has balls the size of pumpkins.
