>>you might be interested to know that the photos
you refer to are of a Huey B-model gunship. B- and C-models never did get hard mounts for the door guns. Carl and I were discussing the D-model slicks<<

Yes, my friend, I am well aware of these facts. But I'm sorry, prior to this message I didn't see you mention any huey types as B-model or C-model or D-model in any of the other posted messages, just the use of hand held M-60s

I guess I need to learn or practice the method of mental telepathy you use to convey your thoughts and all your specifics... .

I was just trying to verify and support what the movie depicted and what some appeared to think was so odd about what others who served had used at other times. And no offense intended, of course, to any fellow Nam combat vets...okay pal?
