Military chopper flying over my stand. You can't hear the heli that well in the video but it's really loud
I hunt next to fort polk so they fly over all the time. For example as I'm typing this there is a cargo plane vibrating my stand.
I can hear it.
Blackhawk family helicopter.
Yeah you can see the heli at around the 12 second mark
A common misconception about Vietnam War US Army Fatigues is that they are olive drab and have normal cloth, no, they aren't and don't, they are tropical green and are cotton ripstop. OD fatigues with regular cloth is the ones from the Korean War, WW2 ones weren't even green, they were a weird mustard color
Agreed
Another misconception is that in the Vietnam war, veterans were the highest casualties, in reality it was Mac Namaras' morons
even then, we only lost around 50,000, compared to the hundreds of thousands of looses we inflicted on the NV and Vietcong forces
Say what you want, but Mac Namara was the most idiotic Secretary of Defense we ever had
Great strategic mind, Terrible efficiency and material workarounds
i know, its just that despite those poor bastards making up most of the casualties, we still lost way less then they did
I know, but I'm talking about his as a whole
fair enough
F-111: Garbage fire that killed its pilots and couldn't hit anything
T114: Slower and less armored APC that catches on fire easily
USS JFK: Aluminum Garbage that catches on fire if a ship grazes its hull
jesus fucking christ
M551 Sheridan: Great tank, horrible ammo and turret problems
for the T114 you might as well just use Guntrucks at that point
There was something better than the T114 the M113, it was 30MPH faster and carried more people (by 5)
and get this, it used diesel
Hah
Pershings and M60s are great tanks, but their weight made them not suitable for jungle combat, which is why M551 Sheridans were better, but their turret problems and ammo case ruptures were a huge issue
Something like T92's, HSTVs, M551 and possibly M41's were far superior in jungle combat
F16xl
The only F-16 that wasn't a companion to F-15E
Darn shame too, but lucky, Trump sold it to Thailand under the F-21 designation
So its not over for this beauty
Vulcan
Avro Vulcan, the plane that made the Falklands landing easier only to get retired that same day
thats one hell of a retirement day
Initially it was going to be 4 Vulcans but the lead plane had compression issues and the 3rd plane was flying with half a gallon due to the refueling planes being epty after fueling the 1st 2
they barely made it back with only liters left in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, they were saved by 5 Lone star refuel planes all the way back to the UK
Victor
@isoboto check DMs
@Identity crisis the plane victors and Vulcans are my favourite long range nuclear bombers
They are bae
