One of my last missions in VN. Could hear the super sonic crack of the
bullets going by my bird and saw where they came from so 'zap'.

Had another earlier occasion with 'troops in contact' and an Army
chopper called "Andy" (my call sign) "your taking a lot of ground fire
on the east end of your orbit".This was massed ground fire (every one
firing their rifle) which was tactic the VC started using '67-'68. We
(Air Force) decimated (destroyed) a VC battalion which had been giving
the sector a lot of trouble for years.

Was a war we won every place but in the media.

The last time I got shot at I put four 500 pounders on the S-O-B.

Good for you John, I'll bet they didn't whine much to the liberal
press about annoying aircraft orbits in their area after that. ;-)

Love it!
