Stu Rawlinson was his Copilot that day.....who I later knew at Bristow Helicopters.
For those not familiar with the 135th Assault Helicopter Unit.....it was a US Army Huey unit made up of Australians and Americans.....and was amongst the best Units in Vietnam.
A close friend, and American pilot was shot in the shoulder and had to retire medically due to his wound's permanently limiting the use of that arm.
Mezera started his tour on 2 April 70.....I started my second Tour on 1 April 70....and I was medically evacuated after my own claim to flame in mid-June.
We never forget those guys.
Small World eh, Megan?
