Landing ? Huey you must have been knocked on the head too. It resembled nothing of a landing to me. Smoke and fire coming out of your hot end, hydraulics gone. I remember you sayin I gotta sit her down here. Into the trees and blades went every direction. Penny tried to land into some elephant grass about a 100 yards behind you, and my dumb ass jumped out armed with a 45 automatic?? And Penny took off. The elephant grass stood back up and I said oh shit. Hell I said clear left before I jumped. I headed for the trail, found it and ran down it towards your position, and Vickery damn near shot me for a gook. Bad day? Not done yet. One cent lands closer and Eddie Sumpter shows up and helps me get Vickery into 533. We go back for the C/E and gunner and I damn near swollow my bubble gum when Huey starts shootin his radios with his Swedish K. Walks over to 533 sits down in the floor and gives me a thumbs up. We head for Dak To and Huey is covered in blood,and I'm thinkin is this all in a days work? That is why Huey is one of my heros. By the way. That was my 20th birthday. Touch
