Need your knowledge locating a song. I was texting my brother in California trying to figure out the title. I think it’s by War. Same style of music. The chorus is “Vietnam (x3) killed my brother.” Good luck trying to google the chorus with the group War. I since tweeted the group. Figured you would be the man to ask.

Went back to my SoCal roots and pulled one from the Cholo Greatest Hits

That is awesome

Neil Diamond is retiring from touring due to a Parkinson’s diagnosis.

I’ve been trying to find tail number history on some of the ones I came across. I’m sure there is a website somewhere.

It was a culture shock going from Chinooks to Hueys but I have been able to pick up pretty quick. As far as I know, the Air Force uses Hueys for training and the State Dept has a bunch of them. Other than that, mostly law enforcement and foreign countries fly them regularly. Parts are becoming hard to come by

Pulling for the Vikes. It’s only proper I post a song by Minnesota’s native son.

Damn

One of the 47 Instructor Pilots I fly with was a door gunner in Vietnam. He doesn’t tell any stories. Other than that, I hardly run into anyone.

My side gig is working on aircraft. Today I worked on Huey helicopters and was jamming out to songs of that era

Mine too. I started watching the doc on Netflix that you recommended and all of their music brought back memories of my Dad rocking out to their records.

I was just listening to the Cranberries on the way to work this morning and heard the news a few hours later. I love this version of Linger because Dolores’ voice isn’t overshadowed by the music.

I have to admit that just last week, I saw an NHL score for the Golden Nights and saw the logo and wondered why the Army was competing in the NHL. It wasn’t until I googled it that I found out they were an expansion team from Vegas. Hell, I was in the Army and I was confused.
