Vietnam Era Helicopters Make Impression on Louisiana Families
by QuestionGirl • 5:21 pm

Very cool………

The parking lot at the Aviation and Military Museum of Louisiana on Kansas Lane was full Thursday afternoon as people came to see three Vietnam-era helicopters land on the museum’s lawn as part of a flying tribute to veterans.

Families and men in hats and black vests with military patches on them lined up along the edge of the parking lot to watch.

A small girl wearing pigtails stood with her younger brother and sister in the back of a 2½-ton military truck on display at the museum to see the helicopters land.

The helicopters, from Wings and Rotors Air Museum in Murrieta, Calif., were flown as escorts for 300,000 motorcycle riders who traveled from California to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington for an annual Memorial Day Rolling Thunder’s “Ride to the Wall.”

The helicopters were on their way back to California when they stopped in Monroe
