Ever read Chickenhawk? It is quite some biography that Robert Mason turned out and the reviewers at Amazon hand out five star ratings seldom seen in such quantity. It’s tempting to call it an aviation classic but it is much more than that. In his book Mason charts his progress through Marine helicopter school to Vietnam. I am not about to do a review here, more an invitation to flex your imagination at the maelstrom that the guys flying this poor little OH58 (Jetranger) flew through to trash their Helo in such a way.
Being shot at is a deeply personal experience if you are aware of it at the time; living through this kind of abuse must be enough reason for a spirited celebration of life. I sincerely hope they got away with it.
