This is one of my favorite photos - not sure which war we were meant to be fighting... Boys will be boys...

You can read about this one in the
aircraft history. We just ran out of air. I'm proud to say at least that it was
a good landing! No KIA. Yes, that is the transmission and tail on the side of
the crater... not sure where the blades ended up. We were extracted by an Air
Force rescue chopper out of Tuy Hoa. This turned out to be an aborted LRRP
patrol in what was supposed to be an NVA regimental area. More drinks... Photo
by the crew of 638 who were with us on the mission. Names I don't remember.

I'm sure this is somewhere near Duc Lap
just before the shit hit the fan... Photo by Ralph Peck; we had a 2 ship mission
popping around the woods doing this & that. Turns out Duc Lap got clobbered just
after Ralph pulled out of an LZ about sunset after dropping some much needed
supplies - I think it was a few cans of Coke & some asprin. We heard all the
radio traffic on the way back to the 48th / some 3000 NVA were in the woods
under us all the time - I think we had a couple of drinks that night...
