The Purple Foxes

I ran across this video....it reminds one of why Helicopter Pilots and crews are so different from their fixed wing counterparts.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

If I am not mistaken....there is another video out showing the shootdown...the one where the aircraft got hit by two SA-7's if I am not mistaken.
