Late in my second tour I happened upon a Dustoff bird parked on a pad adjacent to the hospital at Pleiku AFB. The bird had more holes than I could grasp. Both pilot armor seats were thoroughly perforated and the entire cabin interior was bathed in blood. Mostly 12.7mm holes but there were a few small arms holes. I have no idea how they flew it back or how it turned out for crew or others on board. Absolutely gruesome and amazing.


I am..........disturbed.
