Huey Gunship - Night Helicopter Hot Extraction (S.O.G. Prairie Fire - ARMA 3 Vietnam)
“We did not have night vision. We covered everything from Laos to the South China Sea. We had nice beautiful white beaches, we had level plains, and then that grew as farther west went towards Laos, very heavily vegetated in very high mountains, I mean, 2,000 feet high. We could not see the horizon, but we had some instrument training in flying school and we always said it was just enough to get ourselves killed. The rudimentary navigation equipment that we had, we were able to find our guys on the ground.
I hated flying nights because it scared me to death. The way we found the guys out in the middle of nowhere was you have an instrument landing system that’s designed for use for landing an airport where you can’t see the runway.
I tell him, ‘Okay, I’m inbound, give me a call when you can hear me.’
I see them flash their light and I start my approach. This is dangerous because I’m making a slow, deliberate approach to that light. The guys in the back are watching for any obstacles, trees, whatever. But as long as I can see that light, I should not be running into anything. I’m doing all this with the lights out. When I am pretty sure that I’m getting close to the ground, then I will turn on my landing light so I can see exactly where I’m landing. But I try not to turn it on too soon, because now I’ve told the enemy exactly where I’m at.
We had no choice to fly at night because the guys are out there, they’re dying, or they’re sick, and they need help. I’ve got this magnificent aircraft, and I got a great crew of 18, 19, 20-year-old kids in the back, and that’s our job, go get them.”

Single-skid: One skid or a portion of one skid is in contact with the surface while the other skid is not in contact with the surface.
Toe-in: The toes (forward portion of the skids) are in contact with the surface, while the aft portion of the skids are not in contact with the surface.
In the first year, the Seawolves would log 16,000 flight hours and 11,000 combat missions. After the maintainers worked their magic, the pilots would have to use their superb instrument training. Overloaded with ammo and fuel, they quickly earned a stellar reputation for their flying skills, their ability to navigate in pitch black darkness, heavy monsoon rains, and at treetop level. They never turned a mission down.
"They could put us in and out of places and do things that any civilian pilot would probably mess their breeches."
"It was hard to tell one mission from another. Especially if you're flyin' at night. We're in the rain...we would take off sometimes and we couldn't see the end of the little runway we were at...the little runways maybe 100 ft long."
"Whatever tactic it took to get the guys on the ground out of there, that's what we tried to do."

They didn't care about anything. If you guys called them, they were going. The Sea Wolves were full on. Scramble the Sea Wolves. They're coming down to all our Vietnam parties. They were vital to our survival. They saved our ass way more than we could even count.
He told a story...they stayed on station so long, he goes
"Looks like we're gonna run out of fuel, oh well."
They run out of fuel, they land in the middle of a rice paddy, and they're using ammo cans to transport fuel from one to the other. Total insanity. They were all garage mechanics. Those guys were unbelievable.
