I worked with a guy who was a Sky Raider pilot in Vietnam, and was awarded 9 Air Medals. The Sky Raider pilots were true heroes.
Awesome story! It's great hearing these war stories by these heroes. Thanks for posting this!
Another excellent pilot story. I love hearing the stories of veterans. They are true heroes. This is a great way to honor them and the sacrifices they made for our country. We can learn so much from them. Keep up the excellent work. Safe skies my friend 🇺🇸🛩️
Great story. I love this stuff . My wife’s uncle was a Huey pilot in Vietnam and he has good stories.
Wow, great story, love the guys in the A-1...I worked with the Sandies at NKP as a Nail FAC in the O-2a...they did not need my FAC services like the fast movers( F-4’s, 105’s, etc)...our goal was the same, stop the trucks on The Trail and SAR’s when needed...blessings to all Sandies.
Thank you for your service.
These Sky Raider pilots were the best.
Bruce and I have been close friends for quite a while. Him and I attend Oshkosh and Sun and Fun as often as we can. He bought a 172 and a 182 a few years ago. The first time he flew the182 he would enter the landing flair "a little high" so to speak. On one approach I was telling him lower, lower damnit. He said to me 'it feels lick my ass is dragging through the asphalt." He had retired from Delta a few years earlier. He is one hell of a pilot and I am proud to call him my friend. See ya'll at Sun and Fun next year. And Oshkosh too.
Thumbs up 👍 thank you 😊
