For a while we ran a Cobra "filling station". They would land and gas up right outside the gate.
The Cobra was the baddest flying weapons platform helicopter in the Nam.
The Cobra carried rockets, a grenade launcher and a mini-gun. Tremendous fire power!
Notice the rocket pod here.
That's the grenade launcher and the mini-gun in that barrel shaped device just below the cockpit.
That's a Huey up close, with the Cobra standing guard further in the background.
