Those waap waap sounds never leave... I wasn’t in nam. I was just one of the last huey crewchiefs in the NG. Got out in 2004 with the hueys. Best aircraft ever.
of course hanging a .50 out the door instead of an external pylon meant it wasn't a slick either. Don't recall any high speed troop insertions that were flying so fast that wind drag was a problem. Much less the doors off and troops all but hanging out the doors would ever cause drag. But, could be I guess.

A YouTuber named Lord Hardthrasher has an interesting channel where he analyses the WW2 strategic bombing campaigns. And he has some good ones on the falsehoods of Nazi technical superiority and how so much of their fear was shyt. Well worth checking out.
In lieu of being able to pee on Fonda’s future home I do an annual trek to the pistol range with a few 8x11 photos of Hanoi Jane in the NBA helmet. Pretty good 25ft pistol target. Of course I use the period correct 45acp.
