<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Ron Ihler, the new Operations
Officer, summoned me into his office. "Well, Freeman," he said.
"You're a new aircraft commander. Guess what you get to do tonight."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I was Third-Up on the duty roster.
Normally, Third-Up didn't do anything but ash & trash, and they didn't do
those at night. "I don't know. What do I get to do tonight?"</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Fly with the VNAF." Was
that a smirk on his face? I couldn't tell. I knew some of the older ACs had
flown with the VNAF Dustoff crews before I got to Binh Thuy, but they hadn't
been doing it lately.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"What do you mean, 'fly with
the VNAF'?" I wanted to know.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"You get to fly right seat with
one of their ACs," Ron explained. "Supposedly, we're pulling out of
here in a few weeks, and Group wants us to make sure those guys can handle
their own missions at night."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"I didn't think was a question
about whether they could. I thought was a question of whether they would."
I didn't know the politics behind the decisions, but I did know that we flew
medevac missions night after night, while the VNAF Dustoff ships sat on the
ramp. Ninety-nine point ninety-nine per cent of our patients were Vietnamese.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Look, I don't know what's
going on any more than you do, but I know I've got to put a pilot with the
First Up VNAF crew tonight and you're it. The rest of us have already had our
turn in the barrel."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Okay," I said.
"Where do I go? What time?"</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"You meet Lieutenant Phouc on
the west side of the runway at nineteen hundred hours."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I knew Phouc. I'd heard he had about
eight thousand hours and was an excellent pilot, though a little weak on radio
and traffic pattern procedures. We joked about it. "We come, we go,"
seemed to be the extent of VNAF communications with the tower.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Nineteen hundred hours military time
was seven p.m. warrant officer time. When my new Sieko indicated it was time, I
crossed the runway and waited for the VNAF ship to arrive. He was about an hour
late. When he landed, his right seat was occupied by a grinning crew chief, who
jumped out and held the door open for me to get in. Phuc did not shut down. I'd
have to depend on his preflight. It was a VNAF-owned Huey. I wondered about
their maintenance. I wondered if they even preflighted.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We took off and headed north. Except
for the "we go now" call to Navy Binh Thuy tower, all the radio
conversations were in Vietnamese. Needless to say, I was more than a little
uncomfortable half an hour later when we began circling over a firefight a few
klicks east of Dong Tam. Judging from the tracers flying back and forth on the
ground, and the abundance of high-pitched, and obviously excited radio
transmissions, none of which I understood, there was quite a battle going on
down there. I didn't have a clue what Phouc was going to do, and he was so busy
on the radio, I couldn't break in to ask him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I noticed him checking the gauges
and stretching out a downwind leg like he was going to land. I didn't like what
I saw. Finally, Phouc took a break from the radio and looked over at me. In the
dim, red glow of the cockpit lighting, I could swear he was grinning from ear
to ear. I was determined not to let him know how uneasy I felt.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"What's going on?" I asked
him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"It's my cousin down
there," he replied. "He's begging me to come down."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">That I could understand. My own cousin
had been a door gunner in Vietnam a couple of years earlier. If he had been in
trouble and if I had been around then, I'd have gone to get him, firefight or
not. "Let's go get him," I said, trying not to let him hear any signs
of fear in my voice. With a purpose, I guessed going into the midst of that
firefight wouldn't be so bad. At least we'd be going after someone that
mattered to someone in our crew.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Oh, no, no, no, no,"
Phouc said, laughing. "That's not the deal. My cousin is VC. He wants us
to come down there so he can B-40 us." A B-40 was a rocket. It did bad
things to helicopters.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I had been around Vietnamese people
enough to know that I didn't understand them. They would pass up a chance to
save a wounded soldier if it was the least bit risky, but wouldn't hesitate to
pick up a KIA, regardless of the risks. I didn't know if Phouc was going to
take the challenge or not. He seemed to be having too good a time to suit me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"So, what are we going to
do?" I asked him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Don't worry," Phouc
replied. "I told him to wait. We will be down in a couple of minutes. I
didn't tell him we've got Cobras coming. We're going to blow him away before he
blows us away."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Obviously, Phouc was enjoying
himself. I began to relax. It sounded like he had a pretty good plan. But where
did he get Cobras at night? I'd never been able to do that. I wondered if VNAF
had Cobras. If they did, I had never heard about it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The situation reminded me of kids
playing war. Only these guys had real weapons, and they were playing for keeps.
"Can't shoot through bushes," and "I got you," "No,
you didn't" rules wouldn't work. I wondered if there were wounded down
there, or if Phouc was just playing games with his cousin. Not that I could do
anything about it. Phouc was commander of the aircraft, and I was his Peter
Pilot, even if I was supposed to be teaching him the techniques we used for
locating suitable PZs at night.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We pulled a little away from the
action and waited for the Cobras. Phouc had me turn on the rotating beacon
(first thing I'd gotten to do all night) so the Cobras could spot us when they
arrived. We didn't have to wait long before a couple of Outlaws showed up and
hailed us on our frequency. They were Americans. I recognized the call signs.
They had covered me before on daylight missions, but they didn't like to fly at
night. They were pretty vocal about it, too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Dustoff, this is Outlaw 22. ID
us a target and let's get this show on the road."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Phouc turned to his Texas-Alabama
vocabulary for this part of his mission. He identified targets for the Cobras
by the muzzle flashes of the weapons being fired on the ground. The lead Cobra
pilot allowed as how it would be pretty hard to fire that close to the
friendlies, since he and his wingman weren't allowed to go below a thousand feet
at night.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A thousand feet?! I didn't have any
sympathy for them at all. I flew eight to ten hours a night and seldom got
above a thousand feet.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">With Phouc guiding them, the Cobras
went in and let go one salvo each, then Phouc set us up to make the pickup. The
Cobras hung up high, assuring us that if there was any sign of firing at us,
they would neutralize it. I figured if Phouc's cousin was still down there with
his B-40, it would be all over before the Cobras could react. I hunkered down
in my seat and adjusted my chicken plate, as if it would offer any protection
against a B-40 rocket.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As Phouc lowered the collective and
started bleeding off airspeed, I kept my eyes peeled for any sign of tracers
headed our way. My hands were near the controls, ready to take over at a
moment's notice. There was still some small arms fire on the ground, but it was
becoming sporadic. A small fire marked our landing spot.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I wanted the controls, wanted to be
in control of my own destiny, but it was Phouc's aircraft and he didn't offer
them to me. There was no doubt that he was a better, more experienced pilot
than I was, but dying while flying co-pilot to a Vietnamese national was not
among the headlines I had imagined describing my death.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We made it to the ground without getting
blown out of the sky, even when I turned on the landing light, a dead give away
of our position. As we touched down, a light flared off to our right and a loud
"whoosh" seemed to take all the oxygen out of the air. My side of the
aircraft looked like the fourth of July. It was as bright as day, destroying
any semblance of night vision. I saw one Cobra, then another swoop past and
begin a steep climb. They'd obviously gone below a thousand feet. It looked
like they were coming back around for another pass.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"What happened?" I asked
Phouc.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"I think they got my
cousin," he said, matter-of-factly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I heard the Outlaw pilots
congratulating each other on the radio for what they'd done. "I don't
think you'll have any more trouble with B-40s, Dustoff," Outlaw 22 told
us. "We'll wait until you guys get out of that hole down there before we
head for home."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Roger, roger," Phouc
answered them. "We're coming out now. Thanks." I realized there had
been activity in the back of the aircraft and looked over my shoulder to see
that the medic and crew chief had managed to fill the cabin with wounded ARVNs
while all the action was going on.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Don't mention it," Outlaw
22 said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"You've got it," Phouc
said to me, sounding every bit like a Texan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I grasped the controls, surprised I
was finally getting to fly, and trying to get my eyes to adjust to the darkness
again. "I've got it," I said, and pulled pitch.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Cobras waited until we were
above a thousand feet, then departed for Vinh Long, while we headed towards My
Tho with our seven patients. One of them would be lucky to make it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There's an interesting side note to
this story. Months later, after the 57th had moved to Long Binh, I was flying
coverage in the Delta and landed one day at the Can Tho soccer field to drop
off a couple of patients. A Vietnamese officer came out to the helicopter and
asked us to shut down. He indicated there was a patient in the hospital who
wanted to talk to us. Since it was a Vietnamese hospital, I was a little
surprised, but curious. We shut down and followed him inside.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There, lying an a bed in the middle
of a ward that was packed with patients, was Lieutenant Phouc. His eyes
brightened up when he saw me. "Freeman! Am I glad to see you."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"What's happening, Phouc?"</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"It's these crazy Vietnamese doctors.
They want to take off my leg."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Really?" The thought of
that happening made me queasy. "Why?" I asked him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"They're Vietnamese," he
replied. "That's all they know how to do." This was from a Vietnamese
national. I wasn't sure where Phouc was headed, but he was up to something.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Freeman," he pleaded.
"Take me with you to Saigon, to an American hospital, where they can save
my leg."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"I don't know about
Saigon," I told him, "but maybe I can get you in the 24th Evac at
Long Binh." The Third Surgical Hospital, the MASH hospital that had been

the red tape, bug figured if we took Phouc to the 24th Evac, they would take
care of him. I figured wrong. Since we weren't scheduled to return to Long Binh
for a few days, I couldn't take Phouc right then, anyway. We went over to Can
Tho Airfield and I got on the land line to Long Binh. Three hours later I had
an answer. The 24th Evac couldn't take him, but an American doctor there had
expressed an interest in coming to Can Tho to see what he could do.</span></div>

as I know, the American doctor did make it to Can Tho to perform surgery on
Lieutenant Phouc's leg. I hope he was able to save it.</span></div>

Dustoff pilot, Trang Van Phouc, is in the United States and living in the San
Jose, California area. At one time he had an e-mail account and was in contact
with some of the American helicopter pilots that communicate through the
Internet. If anyone knows Trang Van Phouc and can put me in touch with him or
him in touch with me, it would be interesting to know if this is the same man.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
