That third pic.


That's quite a view.

Looks like the view from 1500 feet. That was a common altitude for helicopters
as AK's were not effective against one flying that high.. (At least that's what
I was told.)

That guy's wearing the same crappy helmet, and the same crappy
headset. I wonder how effective that .30 carbine from WW2 would be at
1500 ft?

probably more so if you dropped it instead of firing it.


I 'spect it's more effective shooting down than shooting up!

I'm surprised to see the old carbine. I'd paid no attention to his weapon the
first time through. By the time I got there, 1969, the M-16s were the latest
rage.
