Wanna make a bet the pilot was drenched in sweat?

My war hero buddy, BJ Barnett, flew his Huey out to a  hospital ship  during the Viet Nam experience. When he radioed that he would land, the ship asked if he would like the landing officer to guide him. BJ was a high time pilot, and said, "no", that he was just fine. The ship was anchored in DaNang harbor....he figured "how hard could it be"?
BJ reported that he NEVER had such a hard landing......subsequently, he requested the LO whenever he made the trip.
You have to admire anyone that lands an aircraft on a ship....
