Mover- I was a Flight Paramedic in the late 70s and early 80s. Our pilot was a Huey pilot in ‘Nam, we got into places that every other pilot and the FAA said was impossible. We went down a white dotted line on a two lane highway below the wires trying to use a little valley to shield us from high winds. It was amazing after, during it was max pucker factor. Those old combat sticks flew like the were part of the machine.

[@dougmasters4579]

Those nam pilots seemed to be a different breed. The helicopter that pulled the survivors from the Potomac river disaster in 82 were nam vets, their skids going underwater at times.

[@chrisspratlin5656]

Most of the helicopter stunts in the 1970s through the 1990s were flown by Vietnam vets. Magnum PI was one of the series that an African American Vietnam veteran flew the stunts as TC.

[@ti1ion]

If you haven't already, read the book Chickenhawk, by Robert Mason. Vietnam helicopter pilot. I read that book in the mid-80s and it was a best seller soon after it came out. I still have my copy. After these guys went through that it seems many became adrenaline junkies. Fighter pilots, too. Brig. Gen. Jerry Cook describes that in his book, Once a Fighter Pilot. There is an episode of the PBS TV show Nature, called Condition Black, about surfing the largest waves. A helicopter was hired for the filming and the director was talking about how the pilot, a Vietnam vet, was flying into the troughs of the waves, with the rotor blades beneath the tops of the waves. A short clip of horrible quality where you can see the helicopter is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIe4ZWaqg7iLjsU

[@cruisinguy6024]

When I started in fire and EMS Life Flights pilots were nearly all Vietnam veterans and it was insane how good they were. I’ve seen them come down, fly under power lines, and then flat laterally under a high canopy to land close to us. Seriously insane stuff, the aircraft really was an extension of their body. One night when I was off duty I came across a motorcycle collision with 2 ejected riders, one with a mid femur amputation and the other slightly less urgent. By sheer dumb luck they were flying back to base and were within a couple miles of the scene when I transmitted my initial assessment. Like a bunch of absolute bosses they took it upon themselves to land in a Walmart parking lot and not only dodge the light poles but also all the cars that were cutting through the parking lot as I had the road blocked. As they were coming in on final I was still the only responder on scene but the first cop pulled up just in time and I was able to tell him to take my radio, switch to the mutual aid channeled used with life flight, and relayed through him a warning about the lamp posts for the flight crew. This was in a major suburban area so it was unprecedented for the events to play out in such a way that a helo was on the ground before EMS and fire were. Those Vietnam pilots were something else and that definitely was not the only story in my area of the pilots doing next level shit to get the job done.

I used to go skating at the roller rink from 2000-2300 every Friday night in my pre-teenage years but when Miami Vice came on that first Friday night I would only go skating from 2115-2300.

I had started a 30 year career in 1989 as a CHP road officer (you even read an e-mail I sent you in Ep4 of Mover and Gonky). CHiPs has always been a little cringe worthy for us CHP officers, but it sure did a lot for recruiting. Always interesting to look at the old equipment. I found Adam-12 the same way. A common misconception is that we only work highways. Any unincorporated area is also our traffic jurisdiction (areas like Compton and Watts). Spent most of my time patrolling those surface streets when I was in South LA.

I went to school in an unincorporated part of California and always wondered why there were CHP patrols. However, there are a few parts of California that are unincorporated where they have their own special public safety districts. The ones I can think of are Broadmoor and Kensington. I think CHP has also bee called on for help, like in Oakland where they don't have enough officers. My understanding is that the CHP basically did traffic patrols, which allowed OPD to take more calls. And then there's the part of the CHP that was absorbed from the California State Police. I guess dignitary protection and regular policing of California state offices is a bit different than traffic.

Jim Gavin (stunt pilot who flew the chopper in this episode) was one of the best in the industry.

[@MiddleMalcolm]

Legend. His bio is incredible. He's also very recognizable, because he was a pilot on so many things, they would just have him cast as the "pilot" on camera. Even as a kid, I noticed how he seemed to be everywhere. More great helicopter action of this vintage, in a David Jansen made for TV film "Birds of Prey". The entire movie is basically one long helicopter VS helicopter chase.

[@ChazToz]

@20:06 “People will stop even when there is no reason to stop.” I was stationed at Norton AFB in San Bernardino in 1978 when this episode aired. L.A. freeway traffic was just like this scene except that the 'The Rubber Necks' would also stop on the opposite side as well.

Grew up in the 70's and 80's in Southern California watching CHIPS. Driving the freeways there in the late 80's I remember the CHP Harley Davidsons. I remember once seeing an officer on one of those lane splitting going well over 100 mph code 3 in heavy freeway traffic that was moving about 50 mph. Watching him maneuver that big heavy bike was amazing site to see he was so keyed in already making a turn between cars before a car changed lanes. I remember the Ford 5.0 mustangs got a few tickets in he early 90's from them also.

Well Mover sir, I was an extra in "Stone Cold" filmed in Little Rock. I was just being random traffic at the time they "attacked" the capitol with a Huey. 17 different takes for that scene, I was driving my route. I had the stunt pilot fly the Huey so low over my car once, I saw both skids out the windows...NOT planned at all. Had I not seen and then turned at my designated spot we'd both been fucked. I went an extra block and ended up in the "gunfire". My little 1968 Corolla is not very tall. The skids were halfway down my windows. He's between my car and the power lines. They couldn't remove all the power lines so the pilot had to drop down under them to fly down the street. I wish it had made it into the movie. I did get in 3 other scenes and the final shot with credits I'm right behind Bozworth. Charles Tamburro was the pilot.

Those Nam guys were not afraid of anything. When I came in the military in the late 1980's there were some still around. They did not trust the system and spoke out often and did not care about the consequences. I saw many of them who were busted down in rank for speaking out. I saw one tell our commander in his face that he was full of $h1t. Needless to say, most commanders respected them for speaking up. They trained us to be hard and resilient and to speak up because it saved lives. I myself hurt my career speaking up but it was worth it. They mentored me and were my second fathers. They knew their stuff hard. They flew like madmen, used harsh language, took nothing from no one and then would go home and drink a 5th of Jack Daniels and not bat an eye. Today the military is full of careerists and yes men and women. Soft and where words hurt them. Sad...

Funny watching these programs and having grown up in the area, seeing all the continuity errors. They magically go from the 210/118 area to the 2 fwy some 15 miles away, in 2 seconds.

The 70s were very different. Vehicle safety standards weren't anywhere near what they are today. All newer cars had seatbelts but they weren't mandatory. My parents had a car that gave a buzzing sound if the seatbelt wasn't buckled (wasn't necessarily) but they got around it by buckling and sitting over it. But wearing one wasn't legally required. When I was small enough, I sat on my mom's lap on the front passenger seat. Although fuel injection and catalytic converters were the norm in most newer cars, most cars on the road had carbs and used leaded gas. And it smelled like it too.

At the age of 7, I rallied a group of friends to ride down the street, CHiPs-style, to retrieve my stolen watermelon Village Lip Lickers balm from the neighborhood bully. We filled our squirt guns with Tang (that could mildly sting an eye, lol!) and holstered up (shoved it in the waistband of our shorts.) After confronting the bully and "negotiating" with him (threatening him with a fictional pet black panther I kept in my garage), my lip balm was successfully retrieved. No Tang was deployed. I've since upgraded my ride & side arm, but I still like flavored lip balm. I think I'd let it go if someone stole it now 😋
