A reconnaissance team which had just been inserted at ZC 064864 came under heavy attack as the helicopter departed. With complete disregard for his own safety the Pilot turned back into the zone to extract the recon team. At about 100 feet above the zone, the CH-46A (YT-13) was taken under intensive automatic weapons and possibly RPG fire. The helicopter caught fire in the aft transmission area and at the same time the pilot and the copilot were hit in the neck by small arms fire. Out of control, the aircraft crashed to the ground on top of the eight man recon team that the crew had so heroically tried to save. All 8 members of the recon team were killed as well as the four crew members in the aircraft and one recon man in the aircraft.
He was my school bus driver... Debbie Fields.
