Tower in top center was on off limits side of Phan Thiet. I always wanted to go over but Dick Love had everyone convinced it was a VC R&R center. Maybe he was right.

From Bob Kelly: " Both of our hydraulic systems were shot out and being a charlie model we lost control. The nose pitched up then we rolled to an inverted position. Our instuctors were right. A Huey will not fly upside down. This was not a thick jungle and you can see from the pictures there was plenty of bare ground to hit. We got lucky and our fall was broken by a tree. Otherwise I would not be writing this!"

Helicopters, at least the guns, were kid magnets.
This photo was taken at Song Mau. We spent a lot of time there - waiting. We’d put out a recon patrol in the morning. They’d recon for a while; if they didn’t find anything, we’d pick them up and put them someplace else. If they did find something, we’d do a CA.
