I got lucky too.
Was shot down, out in the boonies, in a OH58A and only got hit with a mosquito.

OH58, huh.
No disrespect intended, but, we (on the ground) used to think OH58 jockeys were as crazy as loons.
Flying at tree top level to deliberately draw fire revealing enemy positions so the big boys (behind) could puff see 'em *&* puff 'em.
Defines the very word, "courage". ;^)

"...and only got hit with a mosquito."

Thank God.

A belated Happy Veterans Day.
