My most memorable was and old Vietnam pilot. I didn't know he was a pilot when he got in. About 10 minuets into the ride I looked over and he had tears running down his cheeks. I tried not to look, but he started to tell me how he flew OH-6s in Vietnam in 1968. The last mission he flew he was shot through the leg and his Co-Pilot was shot in the head. He told me the whole story from start to finish. I was out 30 minuets past our flight time just so I could hear it all. He was crying he said because he hadn't flown in a helicopter since that day and saw us and knew he had to.
I felt honored to fly this man, and I think he cleaned out some skeleton's that day too. I hope he remembers me, because I will forever remember him.
