We Gotta Get Out Of This Place

These are the true stories of pilots, crew chiefs, and gunners who risked their lives over the jungles of

Vietnam. It is also the stories of those who gave their all while doing the combat missions assigned

to the helicopter units.

*A door gunner on a Huey, who survived a crash in the mountains that killed his best friend. He

then spent three days carrying his pilot who had fractured legs and could not walk, and assisting

the co-pilot who had a punctured lung and broken ribs. No one knew where they were and they had

to escape and evade the enemy who was all around them.

*Two Oh-6 Loaches are sent to scout a suspected enemy camp in South Vietnam only to find themselves

in a Division base camp of NVA in Cambodia. Someone sent them to the wrong place, and

now they are in a fight for their lives. One is shot down and the other risks everything to pick them

up from the middle of the fire fight.

*A pilot on his very first mission as an Aircraft Commander of a Huey slick and the crew chief and

gunner of a Huey gunship. All three share their story of the day the gunship was shot down and the

rescue that was performed by the slick. Each tells his version from the seat they were in.

Over 45 stories of bravery, bravado,recklessness, and down right stupidity. There is a little humor

thrown in because war can be damn funny.
