A bad landing for a Dust-Off at Blackhorse caused by the dust from the down draft. 7th Surgical Hospital Blackhorse, Vietnam 1967
To solve the dust problem the soil around the helicopter pad was coated with a thick oil like substance. The landing gear was broken in this event.

1st Lt. Bailey with gas mask, flying with CW2 Coveney on POW rescue mission called "Bright Light". Even though he out ranked me I was the Aircraft Commander and made him wear it. How dumb was I since we were the CS gas bird! We dropped about 10 sacks of gas on the LZ just before the slicks landed and inserted the Rangers.

Duc Co Special Forces camp, 1965: Wounded soldiers crouch in the dust as a U.S. helicopter takes off from a clearing. This was one of many images taken by photojournalist Tim Page that chronicled the Vietnam conflict. TIM PAGE
