Boomer sends us a link to the story of HAL-3, Navy Helicopter Attack (Light) Three, the Seawolves, and their exploits in the Mekong Delta in the bad days of Viet Nam. They were the only squadron of Navy aircraft that was established, and then decommissioned, on foreign soil. Ever. They picked up were the Army left off, and this is no slam on Army helo drivers, their stories are legend. But the Army Warrents just didn’t have the training or equipment for night flight, and the Navy did. This is an amazing story of what has been described a mix of Pappy Boyington’s Black Sheep and a McHale’s Navy outfit. That it was, and remains, the most decorated squadron in the Navy speaks for itself.<\/p>\n
