Wild Thing’s comment………
Thank you to all of our Vietnam Veterans. This video is so well done, very moving I am sure the very first cut of the blade into the air brings back many memories. With tears in my eyes I thank you all . To the door gunners , the gunners on Huey gunships, the crew chief’s, and all that served in that war and others that have memories watching this video………….brothers all.

I knew a bunch of those men in the door, RAC was one. Courageous, capable, dependable. Also, a bit crazy. I will never forge the whop, whop, whop of Huey blades. I miss that sound in the choppers of today.
Thanks RAC for the time T-Bird 4 and Air America helped me get out of Nam Can outpost down in Camau.
