Thorn In The Heart

             I start checking his helicopter also I told my co-pilot looking
         for a safe place to help him crash. I called him:

             "Hoang-Yen 1... Hoang-Yen 1! What happens for you over
         there.  I  checked  your  chapter  and  did  not  see  anything  even
         smock."

             He cries aloud in the headphone again.

             "Suddenly  my  chapter  lost  its  power!  Hydraulic  oil  and
         power gauge were going down!"


             It  was  the  last  time  he  talked  to  me,  because  helicopter's
         head start going down, and the safe place was a little bit far, I
         shrieked at

             the top of my voice without code names:

             "Dinh...! Dinh...! Pull it up while letting the rotor going free.
         Hang  on!  Hang  on!  Dinh!  Dinh!    Quang  had  a  sight  and
         continued:  "At  the  same  time  of  my  cry.  I  saw  some  Ranger
         soldiers  jumping  out  of  the  plane,  floundered  in  the  air  and
         dropped down on the woods. The plane crashed into the forest. It
         had  exploded,  flame  and  smoke  rise  in  the  air.  I  knew  Dinh
         made  any  necessaries  procedures,  which  he  learned  from  his
         experience and flight school. But he could not have a chance to
         save his life. I made a five turn to locate the area. I reported to
         my  squadron  and  Pyramid  Radar  Control  in  Ban-Me-Thuot  to
         need  their  help  as  soon  as  possible.    After  three  days  of  the
         special operation by 45th regiment of 23rd Army Division and
         Phuoc-An's region troops. They found a plane's crashing place
         and all the people died.


             We  found  some  of  the  Ranger  soldiers  dead  bodies  about
         half mile, around this area. All of their bodies broke up  parts.
         One  fighter  machine  gunner  lost  his  head  because  the  rotor
         chopped it off..."
