Did you hear the Aircrew talking about how close the Pink Panthers brought their support fire?? He said that his door gunner had a piece of schrapnel land in his lap!!!
Those guys did put it where we needed it!!!
The slick drivers would actually come in through the tops of the canopy while we were standing on the skids!! Hence the vectoring that the top cover C&C ship was giving. I've actually gotten on the ground and later found branches stuck in the laces of my boots and spats!!
Also, did you hear the Door Gunners open up as they were comming into the LZs!! They would hose the whole way in and out!!!
