We Internet pilots think we're hard
« on: February 09, 2013, 05:44:49 PM »
These Vietnam chopper pilots are absolutely balls to the wall CRAZY.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk8XF7TvPq4

Two Huey's recieve reports that a unit engaged on the HCM Trail is pinned. 100 men stuck getting assaulted by what could amount to the entire VC NVA contingent in the region.

Using the choppers rotor blades. They chop an LZ into the undergrowth and make no less than 7 trips to rescue the unit from certain death.

     It's been my experience that while dustoffs are super brave, the gunship guys are absolutely bughouse crazy...even out of the
cockpit.

Anybody that thinks they're hard because they are an internet pilot probably needs to go outside for some fresh air.  :lol

Says the video cant be played in my country due to copyright claims by the Smithsonian Networks.

I'm sorry, but isn't the Smithsonian in Washington D.C.?

They should be ashamed of themselves.

The Victoria and Albert museum in London got greedy once and started charging people to enter, it made less money than it did before from donations :rofl

Greed is fantastic when it back fires :rofl

I won $7600000 on the lottery and its all mine :rofl

History is not copyrighted. History channel then again is copyrighted. See the difference?
