Good to see yah postin hangfire I was wondering where yah was buddy. 👍
No hot LZs? you missed all the fun.. 😀 You were up front but keep yer head down getting out in the back or the door gunner give yah a hair cut.. Your last one.

ADD: RTO 'LZ Oasis' I remember the name that was down yer way I think. Mile High we flew over dang think looked like Mt. Everest. Nah did not like your neck of the woods I wanted back in our mountains. Nice big trees to get behind Rock Apes pissing on yah from the tree tops damn Tigers roaring at night looking for their next meal which might be you if yah fall asleep.. Ah the good old days.. 😊
Talking to a few guys from my platoon back at Ft. Carson after I left the Nam. Tiger grabbed some FNG from our company on ambush and he was wide awake. Spun his 16 around and winged it it dropped him and all he had was some teeth marks he was fine but changed his underwear. I have the 4th Ivy newspaper article in my junk somewhere the guys sent me.

Our company commander went tiger hunting in a slick and got one with a 60. It was a beautiful animal. It was a female and some "expert" said it looked to be 4 years old. Some of the guys skinned, cooked and ate it. I didn't get any but did get some python that a recon team brought back from the bush.

I watched that movie once and for whatever reason haven't wanted to see it again. I do have an early Colt slick sided SP-1 that is a good shooter.

Got one back in 1980. My first semiautomatic.

The venerable Spooky C-47, always wanted to fly one or even the civilian version DC-3 , never had a chance, I love that bird.

I like just about any movie the great Mel Gibson stars in or directs. One of the very few conservative big name Hollywood people around today.
