APQ120 - Weapons Control System... it was what I was initially trained on and spent 14 years cursing the pilots that broke it -- good times!!!

Loved the M-16 but being a MP the 1911 was our bread and butter. I miss that thing. I don't need one but I sure do want one!

I miss the M-14. It was a tank that could be taken through dirt, sand, mud and water, yet always worked, unlike the M-16, which was like taking a corvette off-road racing.

The OH-58A/C Scout Helicopter. You didn't fly this helicopter, you strapped it on! You were part of the machine. If you leaned far enough left or right, it would turn. It was very nimble and you could do things just by thinking about it. Plus, we often flew single-pilot so it was all you. No co-pilot to back you up or talk on the radio or read a checklist. You flew, talked, wrote stuff down, tuned radios, threw switches, everything. (I dropped a few pencils out the side!) And yes, we mostly flew without the doors. Like a flying Jeep! No GPS, no 3-axis autopilot, no flight management system, or stability augmentation system, and no moving map display. You had a map, a compass, and your mark 1 eyeballs! Man, that was flying!
