Huey, by 1970 an added wrinkle was where the gunships would fly close cover on the Snoopy bird, and every time the Snooper would yell "Heavy Mark", they would punch off a couple of rockets underneath you. This was the "Scorpion" mission: to sting 'em in their little hidey-holes. They didn't like this, and started putting mines and snipers in the tops of tall trees to try and knock you down. It was a lot of fun for an adrenaline junkie: me, I hated it. I preferred milk runs. No adrenaline to disturb your nap, no damn holes to duct-tape up, and you got home in time for supper!
