High quality, intense, and raw combat footage of Vietnam's Assault Helicopters, the 'Hunter-Killer Teams'.
Hunter-killer tactics in the Vietnam War was a revolutionary approach to aerial reconnaissance and ground attack operations. The role of the hunter-killer helicopter pilots in this strategy was to combine the efforts of two types of helicopters: one to spot and identify the enemy (the “hunter”) and the other to launch the attack (the “killer”).
Air support is a wonderful thing.
ReplyDeleteOf course, a dust-off ain't too shabby neither. Those were some good pilots.
Inbred, I could not agree more.
ReplyDeletePity they weren't bullet proof.
ReplyDeleteThe pilots or the aircraft? ;^) Some of those guys flew as though they and their choppers were invincible.
DeleteWhere was the "combat" ?
ReplyDeleteAerial combat's been a thing since World War I.
