Palmetto bugs.

Remember those freaking huge cockroaches called rice bugs in 'Nam?

Ever get hit by one hanging out the side door of a chopper?

At cruise speed?

Never hung out the door. Usually I was prone, with binocs at my eyes,
looking for craters in roads or blown bridges. The engineer's version
of dawn patrol. I loved those flights. Got up as the sun came up and
flew the 25th Division AO. Even got paid flight pay for it.
