photos from a unit that flew for the 1st Bn 6th Inf on a daily basis in Vietnam.  Great stuff  from
Carl Zipperer (Minuteman 27) (CTZipp@aol.com) and others!!

Boxcars, 178th Assault Support Helicopter Company.  This site from the Boxcars Veterans Association
has good information and photos about the CH-47 Chinhook helicopters that flew in support of the
1st Bn 6th Inf.

Dolphins and Sharks, 174th Assault Helicopter Company.  While the 174th AHC did not fly in support
of the 1st Bn 6th Inf as often as did the Minutemen of the 176th AHC, they did so frequently--particularly
when the unit was attached for operational purposes to the 196th Infantry Brigade.  The 174th AHC web
site is one of the finest Vietnam War web sites with over 1,000,000 hits since it was begun.

Other Support Units:

dozer, Shark 59er, in 1969 - 1970.  He has gathered photos from about 25 other "Bushwhackers."
