During Project DELTA Operation Trojan Horse II. I was a pilot for the 281st AHC and we were the ones that put you guys in the woods and got your ass outa there when you called:-)

I was one of the pilots that flew resupply to the firebases at Bu Prang during the siege.

The 281st Assult Helicopter Company was the primary helicopter support for B-52 Project DELTA, MACV-RECONDO and 5th SFG-SFOB at Nha Trang. Our unit was the first to be attached to 5th SFG and probably the first Army Helicopter unit to train and develop Special Operations techniques and procedures. We were the only Army Helicopter unit to be OPCON to 5th SFG. All others were only in a Direct Support relationship. We were part of B-52. We are authorized to wear the 5th SFG patch as our Combat Patch.
