From a
description of a radio
transmission recorded during the Vietnam War:
"This mission is a troop insert into an area about two miles west of LZ Baldy. Turned out to be a base camp. As you can tell
on the tape, gooners with packs and rifles were skying in all directions when the 46's landed on top of 'em."
From a radio transmission recorded during the Vietnam War:
"OK, you might pass the word to Scarface {some guy's callsign} that they got one, and one got away, and it was the point man that got him, so, uh, evidently one skyed out in front of him, somewhere."
