That Boxcar was a true anvil. It was the nastiest plane I ever flew. Didn't have too many hours in them. and never actually flew one in VN. Did my training here in the states and never got to pilot one over there. Did fly on one that was set up as a gun ship. Had 4 or 5 gatling guns on it...and a lot of bullets. Long time ago and many miles away for sure. Most of what I was in was the Helio Courier STOL plane Also flew a Dornier a few times. We went into jungle strips with all kinds of stuff. The Courier would land on a dime and give ya change. Carried quite a bit too. Wouldn't take too much battle damage though...course it wasn't really a military aircraft. Even after all this time I remember some of those nasty places we had to land. Young and crazy is what I was. Hell all of us were crazy
