At altitude, even the door-gunners were relaxed before we started our approach to the LZ.

Hollywood and these images is the differnce bewteen fiction and fact. Hollywood is fiction.

Although I'm tempted to say "nobody really went into battle announcing themselves with music", I'm sure that as soon as I do someone will leave a comment stating that their unit went in with "March of the Wooden Soldiers" or "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" blaring from speakers. All I can say is that we didn't and I personally didn't want the enemy any more alert and agitated than necessary.

Somehow I don't think this was anything like the movies. Great shot though, all things considered. I can't thank you enough for sharing these images with us. Voted

Nice shot. Reminds me of that Apocalypse Now scene just before the attack on the Nung River like Cindi said. Was Ride of the Valkries playing when this photo was shot?

This is an excellent gallery by the way.

Something you see in books....excellent image. Really makes you feel the tension. Just saw "Apocolypse Now" again....excellent work here.
