Very proud to have served under Hugh Mills! He was my C.O. In 2/1 Cav, Ft. Hood Texas 1975/76. Thank you Sir! I also worked with and was friends with fellow Outcasts Joe Crockett, one of LTC Mills crew chiefs. RIP Joe!

Thank you for this interview. And SIR THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE . You are an amazing man.

[@GaryMCurran]

I'm going to have to put this on my reading list. I've seen and heard about guys like him, although I don't think I've met any. They do tend to be a quieter bunch. I suspect this will be one of those 3 a.m. books, though. :D Thanks for bringing LTC Mills on, it was great to listen to him.

I was a cobra mech. In the late 70s quite a few of my pilots were still flying Cobras and the 6s just waiting to retire great guys one and all !

Excellent episode and interview, Dan and Christy. I love listening to stories from our veterans. Dan, I think Christy needs a discovery flight in a heli. Maybe after the jump. Keep up the excellent work. Safe skies my friends 🇺🇸🛩️

Wow! He must have 18 lives or something. Double that of cats. Incredible man. Sorry about his wife. I just lost my son's wife to cancer. Horrible!

[@GARDENER42]

Did Hugh write about his later tours in Vietnam? I've read Low Level Hell two or three times & would like to hear more of his experiences. ETA Oh & if you've NOT read Hugh's book, go out & buy a copy, as it's excellent.

[@TakingOff]

I think he’s working on it.

[@rael5469]

"Shot Down 16 Times! " It's like in the movie: "The Magnificent Seven" .....you don't want the guy with scars, you want they guy who gave him the scars.

[@gary5481]

Fantastic story, but probably difficult for a layman to understand with all the technical terms, acronyms & aircraft nicknames. Even with my knowledge of the Vietnam war, it was difficult to follow.

[@jfarill834]

They have no concept!

[@emergencylowmaneuvering7350]

Vietnam is friend of USA lately. USA textile factories allowed last 15 years. and more. And they stopped invading the neighbors too. So mission acomplished. USA won Vietnam lately..
