US Army AH-1G HueyCobras in action over Vietnam

[@Storieswithwill]

Thank you for this footage. My father was a Cobra pilot with B Troop, 2/17 Air Cav, 101st Airborne Air Assault, in Vietnam '71-'72. He didn't talk much about what it was like. These videos give me a good idea of what it must have looked like for him. He died of cancer at age 48 from Agent Orange.

I thank your Father for his service to this wonderful country. I also sorry for your loss, I'm sure you love your Father very much.

I was in A Troop then.

Finally footage without any vietnam song but the original sound

[@crazyralph6386]

Could you imagine being a pilot or door gunner in a UH-1 Huey, and seeing one of these for the first time flying past you effortlessly in cruise? 😂

[@alangeddes268]

In 1968 I was in school at Ft Eustice VA to become Huey Crewchief/door gunner. I had the chance to mess arround with a Cobra for a couple of days thinking it was a race car as opposed to the UH1 truck,

[@crazyralph6386]

@ haha, no doubt! it and the Hughes 500 were definitely sports cars compared to the Huey?

[@Maddog1911]

very good footage

[@rustybaldwin4851]

My class was the last class to go thru Ah-1G mech. School at ft eustis va. Never worked on a G model in the real world mostly s models but that was awhile ago!

Having been an AH-1G pilot in Vietnam, I appreciate this video. One minor criticism is the added sound effects of the minigun firing. In the video, it sounds more like a traditional machine gun, where you hear each round being rapidly fired. But the Cobra miniguns just made a solid roar, much like in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJe1oZybopysptUsi=a906Y-KElvLJixyE

First use sound drone to map aa capacity before large operation

[@bradr2142]

Let's stop kidding ourselves. These guys put whooping on the enemy and save thousands of American warriors. They didn't even come close to winning this war.

[@haveaday1812]

THEY GOT THEIR ASSES KICKED ALL THE WAY BACK TO AMERICA BY A BUNCH OF RICE FARMERs.

:D

[@SongJLikes]

Allllllllll that firepower…and the NVA/VC STILL drove the Americans out of their country, and reunited their nation under their own rule. REAL warriors.

[@crazyralph6386]

They can thank LBJ and McNamara for that. The US could’ve easily turned the red zone in NVC into a pile of rubble, but elected not to in order to prolong the war thus increasing profits for the MIC and private contractors.

[@SongJLikes]

@@crazyralph6386 - You are forgetting the one and only important REAL REASON that we didn’t ‘obliterate’ North Vietnam; we did NOT want to bring in USSR/China directly into the fight and start WW3… So it was a no win situation.
