Looking for two Vietnam Huey Pilots

[The Viper]

Hi GotRDid,

I just placed a call to John Walker, the founder and left a message. Thank You so much for the lead.

I know a Huey pilot but he isn't a competitive shooter although he does deer hunt. These guys were the real heroes in Vietnam. I was a 19 year old sergeant there in 1966 and 67 and can remember giving several bottles of Jack Daniels as a "thank you" to some of these men. They could make a Huey do things the weren't supposed too. They saved a lot of lives! I and a lot of others will be forever grateful to the pilots.

Viper,
Have a fellow VN vet, Huey pilot,c/s "Cadillac Joe". Told him what you were doing and wants to say THANKS. He is not a shooter at all but wanted that thanks relayed to you.

Howdy Viper, glad to be of some assistance. All of the Crew Members I have met at the K.C. Machinegun Shoots have been the exemplary personification of the Bravery, Honor & Courage that those Pilots lived by on a daily basis.
My Father is a Vietnam Vet, Lifer 19 Kilo-Heavy Armor, and although his vision is severely limited, he always turns his head skyward at the sound of those rotors. He still lives close enough to Ft.Knox to hear the Chinooks, Blackhawks, and Apaches. Always makes him smile.
Rode a few back in the early 80s while at the M.P. Academy in Ft.McClellan, AL.
GotRDid.

Thanks Viper,
Although I wasn't a pilot I spent a lot of time in the Huey ( 1st Cav 65-66) and can't say enough good things about them. They pulled my "S{}%" out of the fire more than once. God bless them each and everyone and you Viper THANK YOU.

I got a Viper Barrel vice at 1000 yard Nationals. I would like to thank my friend Bob for donating it. It is of the best quality I ever saw in a vice. The overall finish is as good as his rests and recommend them to anybody. Matt

Gentlemen,

With your help, I've got 33 pilots on the list. I need two more to finish out my Christmas list.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe a couple of Cobra pilots are still shooting.
