Started a Huey one day. thought It was company ship. We were supposed to be going to Nha Trang. I realized the right seat had headed north and the rocket pods were loaded and two gunners in the door with ammo already in the guns. Not so much fun when lots of green tracers are passing by I had to finish the mission with them. Co and Warrant Officer and a Captain weren't amused but a little.
Payback maybe or a joke, I don't know. I had to fly out, not told where, landed a click or kilometer out from a village where a Sgt was doing a hearts and minds thing, I don't remember the name of the program. The reason not to draw fire to the village. I had to run a sprint form the kilometer. He looked at the note as if it was some nonsense signed it and back I ran. Picked a bullet hole in lapel and red streak along mmy shoulder. Didn't get a Purple Heart.
Several times we have both approached the wrong black car. Some Audis, and Jags, and even Hundays resemble our Merc.
Stated to load the wrong Edge more than once. Wife tried to open the door on one.
