Eagle Flight from Dau Tieng at take off 2

Twice during the rainy season of 1968/1969 we were dismounted and sent out on choppers for search and destroy missions. One felt rather nude out in the jungle without the comfort of 12,000 rounds of 50 cal at close hand. You had to admire the legs who went out like that day in and day out. For us, a firefight could go on for hours w/o resupply, but the legs could run out of ammo in minutes.
