I haven’t seen the full helicopter attack scene in decades. David Jones did a great job as the aerial coordinator. I’m sure that Jones also flew the chopper with the helicopter camera. No one could fly a chopper like David Jones. David Jones hired me for the job on the movie in Belem, Brazil. We’d hang out together after work at the Verandah Bar and swap aviation stories. Jones was a great guy and a fantastic pilot. He could do things with a chopper that I didn’t think were possible. Jones had two double Bombay gins every night. No more. No less.

David Jones told me that he had to quit on the “Apocalypse Now” set in the Philippines. The movie was killing him. The filming was grueling, along with the heat, humidity, diseases, and Coppola was insane. But Jones made the helicopter attack scene before he left.
