None of those guyz/galz ever thought of themselves as 'heros'... but many actually were (in the authentic sense of heroism - i.e. altruistic self sacrifice)... More entertainingly, many were genuine dare-devils... I once flew a cargo laden Dakota over the jungles of Mexico with one those guyz - among whose other exploits/dare-devilry included being the only pilot ever known to successfully/intentionally barrel roll a TwinOtter on floats. Don't try that one at 'home', Senor. ;) Correct, Senor.
