Right around 16:00 you talk about mounting guns on the helicopters. Not related to vietnam war, but my father in law is a machinist for the air force and did the same thing in Iraq, fabricated mounts for getting door guns onto helicopters, often while under mortar fire. First time I met him was the day he flew back to the US. I'd been dating his daughter for a few months at that point. Gotta say I felt mad respect for him and completely nervous. :) Married his daughter though, been married 11 years now. He had some interesting stories about what they built while in Iraq.

I actually flew with an ex Army pilot, 02 pilot in Vietnam, had a very similar story. Was flying a mission and took an impact on aircraft and his foot went numb. As he put it “couldn’t feel my foot thought oh God dammit I’ve gone and blown my foot off, “but he could still operate the rudders so he made it home turned out he hadn’t taken an injury in his foot he had just taken damage on the aircraft right by his feet.

Crazy to hear his stories. My grandfather flew hueys in Vietnam in the late 60s. Took a 40mm rocket that luckily only sent him home with some souvenirs and not in a box.

@MaugriMGER 2 года назад

Just a quesion: Why you wont ever play Arma?

@MijoMontego 2 года назад

@@MaugriMGER It has nothing to do with the game itself, so no disrespect to the game. I know I wouldn't play it though. I do enjoy content from a number of RU-vidrs due to their great content, video editing, etc. I'm fine being a consumer while still supporting the creators.

@MaugriMGER 2 года назад

@@MijoMontego I was only curious. you read quite often that people will never play a game and there are a variety of reasons. But I can say that if you are interested in something like that, you can try it out. In sales you can usually get Arma very cheaply and you can also try out the game through campaigns, etc. The way to Milsim is then not really far and you can usually make connections quickly.

@MijoMontego 2 года назад

@@MaugriMGER Thank you for the genuine and honest reply here. It's great to see positivity online these days with so many people immediately cutting others down for not liking or doing what they do. The financials of the game is not a problem for me. What I don't have is the network of friends that also play this title, which would help me in learning the game/actions/etc... that most of the players know these days. It always helps to have friends assist you into a new "world", including gaming.

@MaugriMGER 2 года назад

@@MijoMontego You really dont need friends. Sounds a little bit sad. ^^ Arma is a game where you can easily find a group or a Unit to play with and normally they will help you with everything. I have a german Arma Unit since 2012/2013 and we often invite people that are new to Arma. These days Arma units are happy for every new Member because the game is not young anymore and more and more players give up playing arma.

My dad was with the 334th AHC, 1st platoon out of Bein Hoa ('66-'69). He was a part of the team that brought the first Cobra's in country. In the early days most were shot up because our pilots hadn't learned how to maximize their capabilities. Our pilots were use to flying the Huey's and had to get comfortable with the speed and maneuverability the Cobra provided. They also experimented with installing 50 cal's in Hueys to use on sanpans and other boats on the rivers.

@vincem9468 2 года назад

Thought the vet was giving grandpa vibes when he was speaking about “51” caliber but after a little research I found some other vets that called the nvas anti air 51 caliber so I guess it was a similar idea to how in ww2 the us differentiated the different m4 Sherman guns by calling them 75 mm and the 76 mm guns even though they had the same diameter. This would definitely be lost to history because I have never heard anyone call the Vietnamese guns 51 caliber. Please do more of these!!!

@an_f-14_tomcat 2 года назад

No, the Shermans had two different guns. Some of the recoilless rifles got called a different caliber so they'd be easily differentiated though... Perhaps that's what you're thinking of?

Drew this is fantastic! I've been listening to the SOGcast here recently and hearing the story's these unknown heroes and the secret war they fought is amazing! Having an actual crew chief flying with you is awesome!!

Such a good video. Made me think about the past and the story people have from the wars. Cool to see vets play modern shooters and enjoy them. Keep up the good work!!!!
