Aircraft Carriers, pt 2

30... pt 2 of 8 Fantastic! Thanks Mitchell. I especially like the shots of the CH47 lifting the PBY Catalina and the CH54 lifting what look to be OH-1's or something similar, very impressive lifts indeed. -- Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF East Innisfail Queensland Australia --- avast!

Some of these crates being "rescued" look so mangled I am curious why anyone bothered............

. 130: Some of these crates being "rescued" look so mangled I am curious why anyone bothered............ Several reasons, spare parts and in many cases , the idiots that ran MACV at Long Binh, created more paperwork if you tried to write the airframe off..They wanted an effort made, if there was anything salvageable.. When one of our hueys went down we had to get as much out as possible, guns, radios, documents to prevent the VC from getting anything, and then arrange a pickup OR the complete destruction of the airframe if salvage was impossible...
