I dare say that SASless had the means at his disposal to return the complement a few times over....
Errrrr.....not actually....two GPMG's (M-60 Door Guns) were only there for psychological warfare purposes...it made the air crew feel good but generally did zero harm to the Oppo's.
On that particular occasion I had my hands quite full dealing with some management problems....managing a roaring hot fire cockpit fire while in and out of cloud with a sling load dangling underneath the Chinook.
Heck....we never even mentioned a Checklist yet alone refer to it.
No murderous thoughts that time....earlier that morning it was a bit different.
I just could not understand why total strangers were so intent upon doing me in....if they had met me first then it might have made far more sense to me.
