Yeah, the adrenalin really starts pumping when you're sitting in a chopper and they start shooting her up. I remember coming back to Danang about 20 feet off the ground,barely airborne with the smoke coming out of the chopper. My buddy said he could hardly see it when it landed at Camp Reasoner chopper pad.I'll take my chances on the ground,thank you and leave the flying to smarter and braver men. I was going to say "crazy' but that wouldn't really describe what it takes to be a pilot in combat.Sometimes I still have dreams that I'm falling out of the chopper.I come out of bed wide awake!
