I posted this several years ago in another section on the forum before this particular forum was created. So for the newer guys on the forum that might have an interest in these flight helmets I thought I would bring it up again. I wore this while flying with the 240th Assault Helicopter Company (Greyhounds and Maddogs) out of Bearcat, RVN in 1968-1969. Flew over 800 combat hours that year in the UH-1C gunship.

A couple pic related to this posting. The other side of my helmet bag with the 240th and 1st Aviation Brigade patches. My UH-1C at Bearcat 1968 and our crew chiefs and gunners in front of the "Maddog" armament shed. Our platoon motto was "VC for lunch bunch" and I must admit we had a lot of lunches. This was the finest bunch of young men in the world and saved my butt on many occasions during missions in Cambodia and the Delta.
