A really bad mission V.N. - 727Sky - 02-25-2024
Knowing where these guys were based; when I first started watching the video I figured they were just a bunch of Medevac rear echelon MFs but.. What they did that day going into a hot L.Z. 6 times erases all the REMF stuff away and deserves a Salute; I am glad they were alive to tell their stories. If those would have been American troops and not ARVIN they would have gotten Silver stars instead of DFCs IMO

Weird you can not view. Need a VPN ?? Helicopter pilots in Vietnam were statistically twice as likely to be killed in combat in comparison to fellow foot soldiers. In this episode we listen as veterans reminisce on training days, old fallen comrades, and some of the scariest moments they encountered during their noble military tenures.
It was a good video IMO sorry you can not view

Cheers mate. Just says "The uploader has not made this video available in your country."
Another time. Might google it.
Kind regards,
