I ran across this article quite by accident today and see it as a wonderfully written recounting of the experience of a Vietnam Helicopter Pilot. At the risk of imposing on the writer's good will and modesty.....as proven by previous contacts with him in the past....I hope he will not object to others reading his article done back in 1995.
He recently returned to Vietnam with his family and I would hope in time to see a similar account of that "tour" in Vietnam to go along with this one.
Talking to him over the phone now days you would never guess he was anything but an Aussie!
