landed there that we landed a C130 on a friggin road! It was warmer weather and
dryer at Dong Xoai. And Marijuana grew everywhere. I got my first taste of
flying in a Huey only to damn near crash at Bien Hoa. We went there to get more
HE rockets for the 281st. We were overloaded and during take off we came back to
mother earth hard enough to bend the skids back to cock pit. Got my attention.
We off loaded 500 lbs of rockets and flew back to camp OK.
