Dan Mcmahon | Chinook Pilot in Vietnam

Inspired by the technicalities and challenges of flight, Dan Mcmahon entered the Army as a helicopter pilot and quickly found himself on the frontlines of Vietnam. His missions involved what he calls, "just hauling lots of stuff." The CH-47 Chinook was a workhorse in the war transporting men, livestock, ammo, food, and other supplies. His missions became more daring as the war raged on. Aircraft recovery became commonplace, Dan hauled downed or disabled aircraft such as the Cobra or Hueys in risky salvage efforts. Besides being shot at, he recalls the weather and fuel levels were of primary concern.
