Unless you were there.....you just don't understand.
I was there - for approximately 90 minutes! In January 1968, just before the Tet offensive I was staging through Qui Nohn in an RNZAF Bristol Freighter en route to Kai Tak. Goodness knows how many Hueys were there - on the ground, taking off and landing. Must have been hundreds - probably more than the RAF's whole rotary fleet at the time, on that one base. Amazing sight! I saw a few Hueycobras as well, think that was their first time on ops but may be wrong there.
