My Huey from Vietnam at Smithsonian

❤️⁀‿⁀❤️

Thanks, TigerCat. I love your posted puzzles, especially Sunday Koday. I don't regularly visit this site, so didn't see your comment until today. The only reason I visited today is that I was talking to my daughter (carolinesuarez77) about this puzzle yesterday and my wife asked me to pull it up so she could see it. Caroline was many times the fastest in the world on Kodays but she's so busy now that I can't get her to go back to doing them. Yes, flying in Vietnam was, to say the least, interesting. Often boring, occasionally terrifying. Unlike many of my fellow pilots, I made it back. I later flew for 20 years in the National Guard. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

tom, I see you on my site so I decided to visit you and there is your helicopter. Wow, I'm impressed. Right now we are hearing about a lot of people who are heroes and in my mind you are absolutely one of them. To fly this during the Vietnam war took tremendous courage and with great respect and admiration, I salute you!!

Never got to see anything like this close up. Thanks, Tom.

What a moment that had to have been when you knew your bird was exhibited there. If machines could only talk, the stories they could tell, eh?
I'm happy you made it home, too.
"All the way!"
