Might be an interesting question to ask what kind of engine throttle control he had on the Huey bird collective. The only kind they had was a manual twist throttle sort of like a motorcycle but if one never went riding in that vintage of bird they wouldn?t know the collective control from bird droppings. Later Military birds had auto engine throttle control and were a bit easier to fly as I understand. So I?m betting on a sea story or a severe case of amnesia. Strange as to how so many supposed VN Vets get a rip roaring case of amnesia. I met a fellow once who didn?t know what Army unit he was in. No one ever told him was the cover story. Well, oh tay Buckwheat, got it. .
