When I served on Titan II crews we often took a UH-1H from base to missile site. This was toward the end of the Vietnam war and all the pilots were war jockeys trying to get their flight hours in stateside. To a man (they were all men back then) they flew a hot stick and the trip to the site was almost always a TRIP.

Only one incident when the Huey lost power and we had to autorotate down on a field. No injuries but we all had to check our skivvies.
