Wel...juvat says "reminds me of a story.." Well, here's my "helo" tale. Took a sight-seeing trip as a pax with an O-2 FAC to the old Imperical city at Hue from DaNang (After Tete--complete with bullet wholes and all.) Turns out the ac broke, yet we were both on flight schedule for next day, so left the ac to be fixed and hitched a ride on an old VNAF Korean-era H-34 back to DaNang. <i>Everyone</i> we told was ABSOLUTELY aghast. Said one: "That's the most danger you've been in since you got in-country!"<br /><br />(Heh, you see while the VNAF had some fine pilots with <i>beaucoup</i> experience, their maint practices DID, ahem, definitely leave something to be desired. And the age of the ac didn't help, either..)virgil xenophonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577165785872035948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-43960271044745966902014-10-05T06:46:22.742-07:002014-10-05T06:46:22.742-07:00Excellent point Jon!Excellent point Jon!OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-50165553515803229412014-10-05T05:31:35.335-07:002014-10-05T05:31:35.335-07:00There is "only one beer", but it is a ke...There is "only one beer", but it is a keg.jon spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10886632644249920124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-76516307510704245202014-10-04T18:17:10.123-07:002014-10-04T18:17:10.123-07:00They've got a Tarantul at Battleship Cove in F...They've got a Tarantul at Battleship Cove in Fall River, MA.
