>>Not long after that I learned to get as far as possible from a tank.Buggers draw fire.

There was a Willy and Joe cartoon on that exact subject.

This was up close to Khe Shan in ‘71.

Came straight over us treetop height with afterburners lit.

Saw them no sound huge...then a bit later great boom trailing behind.

Then the great blast of napalm.Took any fight outta the bad guys.

If it wasn’t us he saved that day there were many would say thanks.

That hits it on the head as pappy would say.

.51 flying everywhere bouncing of a Hull is pretty scary.
