Description
Light Observation Helicopter (LOH) getting gas at Hawk Hill "291 getting gas at Hawk Hill - nice job setting that aircraft in the middle of the pad - I guess that perforated steel plank was only for real helicopters… I must have made the same remark at the time on the radio as the AO appears to be giving me the good ole' 1-finger salute in response...or perhaps he was just thanking me for the excellent cover job (not) that I had provided while he was getting the piss shot out of them." -Vietnam Veteran.
