  2. "General Mayhem"? I think a friend of mine served under him in ‘Nam.

  3. Hey! That’s my rocket coming ballistic there at the end; you showed me the picture of it descending while I was there. Is there any chance i can have full-res or at least higher-res (watermarks are fine) copies of those images? The ballistic frame, the impact, and anything else you have. I’m working on processing the images I have, and I have very good ones of the Vertical assault and at least one or two more that I see here.

  4. Happy to give them all to you. I’ll flickr mail you my email address.
