                        I thought some of you might enjoy seeing "Guns A Go-Go" in motion! Thumbs Up [tup] 

                        These are 8mm movies that different crewmembers made while serving with the Unit, that were transferred to VHS, and captured via my digital camera while playing the videos on TV.    (you must overlook the "noise bars", and the "wife noise" in the background... remember, these are strictly amateur made) Wink [;)]      

                        They play using Apple Qucktime... download free player here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/win.html

                        ~then~

                        **right click / Save target As**

                        http://gunsagogo.org/100_1964.MOV

                        "Easy Money" in formation.

                        The clips play using the Apple Quicktime player.... (I wish my camera had different format options to record in, but Quicktime is it)      You can DL the free player here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/win.html

                        Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]Whistling [:-^]Yeah... I should have redone them, and probably will, except this time she'll be at work when I do it! Wink [;)]   

                        I also have a 3, and 9 minute presentation from Beoing-Vertol on the ACH-47... one was made while in the States, the other one made while in Vietnam.  MUCH better picture quality.Smile [:)]
