When I was a flight medic, my unit went from Hueys to Blackhawks (known as crashhawks) and the Viet Nam era pilots were retiring. I asked to be removed from flight status. It didn’t help that I was in a bird that had a tree strike at Ft Leonard Wood during NoE training, a close call with a Cessna at several 1000’ while pilot was in MOPP gear and a new pilot bounced a Huey off the pad from about 15-20’ up.

Good Times
