Although, 33 years since going through training/career, it was for fun initially. much different then training for combat. Have no clue other then the stories from the military pilots transitioning back to civilian. Much respect and thank you. |

I think I saw a young Mike Novosel mastering the old reliable mule (Huey). |

I went through the following year, still had cotton flight suits (Chemically treated, not allowed to be starched), but our APH5 helmets were now OD green. Our fatigues no longer had white name tapes with black letters now green with black letters. The 'US Army' tape was no longer black with gold letters (Oddly the West Point color) and were now also green and black. We were to keep the APH5 for the remainder of our Army flying career
Warrant Officer Candidates (WOC's) wore a rectangular tab on their left breast pocket. Orange for the basic creatin grade WOC, Orange with a black vertical stripe in the middle for the more eminently qualified Intermediate Candidates. Then a all black tab for senior Candidates, who rated a salute from Junior and Intermediate WOCs. This got the senior candidates used to returning salutes.
So much more trivia! |

How could someone give a thumbs down to a video depicting helicopter training for Vietnam helicopter pilots in the 60's and early 70's? Is your mind so warped and jealous of the personal experiences of us who endured the experiences of our times? I feel sorry for people like you who have no concept for the history of the birth and growth of the helicopter industry that you enjoy today. We were trailblazers for people like you. |

Forum who are rude, mean, and nasty for no reason. They are horrible people, and I assume they are also evil. If they are repugnant and aren't aware of it, maybe they are just horrible human beings. I doubt it, though, because I think they are well aware, and have advertised their true evil nature. |
