Don't know who this guy is but he must be too young to remember 'Nam. I never went in-country but there were several black guys piloting birds around base during that time. While I was in the pipeline we had one black pilot flying an HH-3E Jolly Green that we fast roped out of during training. A quick search reveals there were around 600 black combat helicopter pilots that served in-country during 'Nam. Was this pilot a DEI hire? No idea, but black bird jockeys are not non-existent, at least in the military.

Thank you very much for this
This guy flew Blackhawks fire fighting last season… Hardly inexperienced .
