Default Alright, who in here flew in Nam?

Just curious, I got into flying because as a boy in Laos, I saw CIA
planes and also US military helicopters and war planes flying
overhead. Would love to here tales of Flying in Vietnam.

I flew "the hot one" in Vietnam. The C-7A Caribou. Not "hot" because it
went fast, but "hot" because it had no air conditioning. You call, we
haul. USAF in 1970-71.
