Nice cut away PVS-5 nods! My guess is you went through flight school when flying NVGs was just a familiarization and not a qualification. Fun days, especially flying with full face PVS-5's and training with the "day filter PVS-5" goggles. I served from 1972 - 1999 and was an Army Aviator from 1983 until I retired (I was also a Senior Aviator - missed my Master wings by 5 months of rated time when I retired). I agree it took much more finesse to fly a Huey than a Hawk, but both proved to be great combat multipliers in their time. I also want to also thank you for your service.
