Although we didn’t land any Harriers during that or my subsequent deployment in ‘71, we did land some pretty shot up Apaches and Cobras.

Apaches came into service 15 years later.

My bad, you’re right. There was another helicopter we landed,in addition to the Cobras, but it wasn’t the Apache. I disrecall what it was now, but we did land some pretty shot-up machines. I used to have super-8 film of the landings of the Harrier, and at least one film of one of the Cobras, but over the years, in one of my many moves, I lost those films. :(

Harriers weren’t in use then either.

I expect he meant Cobras and Hueys.
