Looking back on it you had to be wild 'n crazy to volunteer to be a crew member on a huey in Vietnam especially in'67-'68 a flying target is what you were , my ship was shot up a time or two and we were shot down twice once in HOBO Woods outside of CuChi and again in War Zone C both times pulling out of a LZ , Landing and taking off was the most dangerous times , in each case the pilots were able to land the craft , first time was a really hard landing and s--t flew everywhere both pilots were wounded gun shot , second time not so bad and no one hurt , but then you had to wait for help to arrive in a Country where the only ground the Americans controlled was the ground they were standing on .:hide:
