You'll see shots of Camp Holloway -- the "Bikini Beach" sign, hootch area, helicopter maintenance area, Hueys landing, "Buccaneer" gunships ready to take off, panning shots of the hills and scenery around the base, and more.
There's lots of aerial footage filmed at different times onboard Hueys -- flying past helicopters on the ground, over villages and following roads, aerial shots of F-4s making bomb runs in the mountains, a low-level pass over Dak To airstrip where you'll see the smoldering remains of two C-130s, great footage filmed while circling the mountain-top radio relay site "Leghorn", flying in Laos over the Ho Chi Minh Trail, and more.
On the ground, you'll see "Bikini Blue 394" Huey up close, and later footage of its wreckage after its rotor was hit by a mortar. There's a Bob Hope USO Christmas Show with Raquel Welch, street scenes in Pleiku, Vietnamese women doing laundry, scenes filmed from a moving truck and more.
