I always wanted to fly in a cobra, they looked so awesome in Quan Tri. Only got to ride in Huey UH1.8 years Army helicopter pilot. AH-1G Cobra. One tour in sunny SE Asia.

HaHa, and we watched Rambo III and were scared shitless of Hind D's! lolEverybody had seen the "Blue Thunder" movie featuring a high-tech American helicopter. One day, I was ordered to do a training called "Organised defence against a helicopter assault by a squad using their AK-47 rifles". It all ended in laughter!
-- Citizen Cadet! -- said one of the men -- When we see the Blue Thunder, we'll rather surrender than shoot!
Now at 73, I still feel embarrassed and a bit guilty about not being able to serve. Although it was never said, I think there were those who considered me a draft dodger.
