Mexican Express On-the-Go
Vietnam — This is the UH-1C Shark "Mexican Express" with the XM-21 minigun
system. The artwork is a yellow Mexican sombrero on a red background, with the
word Mexican above the sombrero and the word Express below. It looks like the
Shark is "drawing a bead" on the Dolphin slick as he's taking off.
(Maybe the guy in the white shirt looked like VC to them...)
