Dinsmore, this is good stuff.

You tell these stories with the authority that comes from having been there. Outstanding series! Keep them coming as long as you please.

I continue to enjoy your Vietnam stories.

Boyd

More please. Heady realities make for fine reading.P>

Thanks Author

Thanks, Dinsmore.

I enjoy your writing!

Hope you're still flying.

Was the call sign used to identify that the the CO of the naval vessel was talking was "call sign himself".

But that sure doesn't detract from the story. BZ

I was an AF pilot stationed at Da Nang. I got medals. You, on the other hand, are a hero. Thanks for your service, and welcome home.

I echo what Anonymous, the AF pilot said. I'm no hero, and I have no medals, but as is usually the case, the ones who really earned, and deserve them, don' t have them. however, you have the knowledge that you did the job, and seven men know for sure that you did it.

I would enjoy any more stories you care to share. Thank you, once again.

were superb. I could read these all day long. Thanks.........

And all who di as you have done or were will to be there if needed -

We depend on you and you have always been there -

Great stories and fun reminiscing with you -

Really enjoy your stories! From 1964-1966 I was Fleet Marine Corpsman on a Evac Team. Most recently, I spent 14 years as a Volunteer Chaplain with the Civil Air Patrol, USAF Auxiliary. as a Search and Rescue Ground Branch Director. As a Fleet Marine Corpsman I was a E-4 and with the USAF Auxiliary I retired LtCol.

I was there as a grunt Marine, 69 & 70.. I've talked to "bird dog" pilots, A1E pilots, and F4 pilots, but never a helicopter pilot. Very interesting to hear that vision of the

war. Very interesting, very different from the other flyers' stories I've heard.

Thanks for taking the time to write it down and post it.

reality from a unique perspective.

by one who was there.

thank you

was a Naval Officer commanding a ship or squadron would use his call sign followed by the word "himself".

As with so many of your stories, BZ.

6*, Bovo-Zulu target, FTGC Hooyah, salute!

One miss in the series, you forgot about all the TDY/TAD's ; no PCS types as that would jeopardize the Paris Peace accords. I was TAD in 74/75. Who do you think slowed down traffic on the Ho-chi Min trail trying to hold up the NVC? Surely not the RVN pussies.

Heck of a rotorhead tale. The forward turret would be the only option given the rotor arc of a Huey! The landing pad aft would have taken a LOACH but not a Huey. A GEARING DD was definitely not a helo-friendly aviation asset.

He was the man !! Five foot six inches, 145 lbs...There he was sitting in a country music bar in Las Vegas. Still 5'6" but about 250 lbs. As I walked past him "Where is that fuckin drink you promised me Chief?". Of all the gin joints....almost 40 years later.
