Army Aviation Heritage Foundation Intro

[EricBBrandon1]

I am proud to be an Army Aviator, proudly serving as a crew member and door-gunner on a UH-60 blackhawk. As a child, visiting my uncle, in Bellwood, AL, I got to witness all helicopter training all around. I remember in '69 visiting other relatives, who had leased out their pasture fields to the Army, practice mass landings...one right after another...all night long.. It stirred my "oats" I got my chance in the 82nd Abn Div, and loved every minute. I survived two crashes.

Awesome! I had always been interested in Vietnam War and the helicopters used in it.

I love that chopper sound! I saw some of the real aerobatics of the AH-1G serving with an all-Cobra outfit - 235th Aerial Weapons Company - in the Mekong Delta in 1971. While I was support, I then flew over 100 hours in everything but a Cobra, with C Troop 16th Cav (Air). Even had a half-hour of stick time (what can you run into in the Delta?).
