Tracked vehicle (identified as an M-548 by
Terry Weibel, 1/10th Cav, 71) with probably a 50 caliber machine
gun. |
 |
Thanks to John Kapior, 1/10th Cav 66-67 for identifying
this vehicle as a Command Track. It had the ability to communicate with all platoons at once
due to a radio dispatch system. Other personnel carriers communicated at platoon
level, and could only communicate with other platoons through the Command Track. |

An Khe. I don't remember why I took this picture.

Approaching Huey (UH-1) late in the day. |
 |
Hueys were always a welcome sight, either because
they were bringing food in the field, evacuating wounded, or shooting the bad guys. We
had a lot of respect for the pilots who risked their lives for us. |

A Cobra gun ship, fast and mean. |
 |
The Black Jack cards on the nose of this Huey meant
a lot to us. They belonged to A Company, 4th Aviation Battalion. They saved us more than
once, and never backed off when we had wounded. We knew we could count on them, even when
we were under fire. These guys were real heroes. |
 |
Another Huey, or slick. The slicks from Company A
transported us to and from the field, carried out the wounded, and re-supplied us every
three days. The gun ships from Company B supported the slicks and us when we were in
trouble. The 4th Aviation Battalion has a website at
