When I flew out of FOB II we used three ships. One C&C, one chase/standby and one insertion. Also had two guns - C Model's.
Was my favorite duty, believe it or not. Actually *requested* to go. Used to request to go to Dak To, too. Yeah, yeah, I'm crazy. But, we already know that. (big grin)
Really learned to **fly ** by doing those missions. I could put that bird anywhere after a while. Had good training though. Mostly with Kinzel (Gator 519) and Yellow 1 (Lt. Pearson). There were others. Sorry for not posting more names. Don Scalf comes to mind....
Just my $0.02 for the board. Been gone almost a year. Try to come in and out more often.
Later......
