  2. I really don't understand why the death and destruction aren't in your videos. That was the war I was in there was no glory. I read comments from guys that made the military their lives not from the men like me who got F cked. Take your metals and glory you know where to put them.

  3. I spent 31.5 months in Vietnam and started with the Huey but went to the little birds and was shot down 2 times but came back only because of the design of the bird and I guess God had a different direction in life for me. Even flew front seat in Cobra but they liked to fly to high for me. Flying around at treetop height ruined it for me. I use to tell them i got a nose bleed above 1000 feet and felt better the lower they would allow us.

  5. I flew with Casper 173rd ABN brigade 1971 Door gunner. The army will never produce another group of helicopter pilots like they did for the Vietnam war. Those guys were amazing and determined to do their job no matter what. I salute all of them.

  6. My brother was in the Australian Regular Army serving along side the American infantry in Vietnam. He would always write and tell me how fantastic the American door gunners were, keeping the enemy at bay while he and his men landed or got back on . He was unfortunately shot and killed in Phuoc Thuy Province April 1971 and passed away just as the men put him on the Huey. He told me what a great bunch of American troops he made friends with talking about the U.S and Australia.

  7. I'm not American but I was a teenager here in the UK when the Vietnam war was going on. A lot of us thought we'd be😅 conscripted. I've always dreamed of having a flight in a Huey. It's my favourite aircraft after the Spitfire. Respect to you who served in Vietnam.

  9. I imagine in the Vietnam War, young pilots, in their early 20s, crossing the dense forest, flying these steel birds, receiving artillery and still landing in clearings to rescue their war brothers in the middle of the fiery hell. Courage, skill and a little luck why not. These soldiers never got the respect they deserved, to all Vietnam veterans: I SALUTE YOU!
