Hi All,

Can any of you guys/gals/other/ recommend a Vietnam War historical DVD or VHS with LOTS of Huey and Cobra helicopter footage? On the ground, in the air, from the cockpit...the more, the merrier. I'm just in such a helicopter mode right now, and sure would appreciate some leads.

While we're at it--tapping your vast source of aeronautical smarts--can anyone suggest a source for the Brit documentary "Col. Culpepper's Flying Circus", about the Confederate Air Force?

Thanks a bunch for your help!

--Tom

I dont know of alot thats out there that you can buy. I have over 2 hrs of home movies that were taken by a guy while in the 240th AHC. I was entrusted not to make copies as some of his stuff got out and some "dirtbag" was making money on it.

That's "my" Huey!

I rode "crew chief" a few times in that machine. What a ride! I sure miss that bird.
