Courtsey Army Helo Crew Chief Jim Bridges

A special thanks goes to Army Helo Crew Chief Jim Bridges who took these pictures just after finishing a mission in Vietnam. Thanks Jim!!

Jim is looking for pictures of his helo taken from Mullinnix
Can you help?

Jim explains, "I was in an Army gun ship, (UH-1B) that gave Mullinnix a gun run display two miles off the cost of Viet Nam. My wing-man was flying a UH-1C. The pilot fired a pair of 2.75 rockets out to sea just as we cleared the bow. I believe we were north of Qui Nhon. If you have photos of me I would like very much to exchange photos."

"Before I got to a gunner's seat I was a Grunt. I would like to THANK YOU ALL for the BIG GUN support, when I found myself up to my ass in combat, with the NVA. You Navy boys saved my ass more than once."
