Original Message up a Cobra crew one night from a road SW of Phuoc Vinh, VN after they got shot down. The AC voluntarily swore he'd never make a bad claim against Huey pilots again. Cracked me up. Told him that was ok cuz I flew snakes my first tour and didn't believe him. Flying slicks in VN was a far more diverse, delicate and difficult life than guns, far more productive too. Navy fighter pilots? To each his own. Never developed that interest. Stay happy. When ya need a ride outah hell it'll be in a helicopter and I bet the pilots don't care who you are or what you think of them, they do it anyway. Always did, always will! Perspective helps.
