Dying to Fly

Just stay alive for the first 120 hours and then youve got it made. Showered with debris and body parts as the row of soldiers in front of him on his transport plane is taken out by a rocket Lt. Danny Hellberg wonders if following his flight instructors advice for Dannys tour in Vietnam is going to be harder than he thought. Things look up after arrival at the base and the officers club then an invitation to the hottest nightspot in Saigon. That is until a terrorist attack renders the floating restaurant and nightclub a literal hot spot. Before he can recover from his brush with death he is unceremoniously sent on his first mission as an assault helicopter pilot. No check out no preparation in the middle of the night-what could go wrong? Death distress diabolical moles and a smart-ass reporter from Texas (who also happens to be a senators daughter) make Lt. Hellberg wonder if he is flying to die or Dying to Fly.
