This is my new fanfiction story for my own sake. Since i'm going to return to work as a student and as a apprentice in a few weeks, i decided to update this new story. In addition, i will make some few changes sooner or later. Please enjoy reading this new story, everyone!

PS: This story was being inspired by my own story series "Splero's War Experience". This one's different, though. Cabbie is the main protagonist of the whole story and he will be retelling his war stories to Dusty and his friends. Once again, enjoy!

Chapter 1 - Cabbie's Story

Cabbie was listening his radio with Vietnam War-era music in his own hangar. Edwin Starr's War plays through his radio while Cabbie gazes his old pictures of his old friends. Dusty then entered inside to check on him...

"Hey, Cabbie. How are you?" - Dusty greeted -

"I'm good, Dusty. I'm just remembering my memories from the war." - Cabbie replied -

"Really?" - Dusty asked -

"Yes, Dusty. I also checking some old war pictures from my storage too." - Cabbie replied, showing Dusty some pictures that he laid on the hangar's floor -

Dusty took a look and he saw the pictures of Cabbie and his war veterans. In the old pictures, Cabbie was being photographed side by side with a group of Corsairs, C-5A Galaxies, F-4 Phantoms and other Vietnam War warplanes. Dusty was surprised to see that there where also some Corsairs in the pictures...

"Hey, Cabbie. Since there's some Corsairs in the pictures, is Skipper Riley was among them?" - Dusty asked -

"Yes, Dusty. He was also among them. He served in the Vietnam War long ago, conducting a few sorties against the NVA and Viet Cong campaigns before America was being defeated with North Vietnamese victory." - Cabbie replied -

"NVA? What's the meaning of that?" - Dusty asked -

"NVA means North Vietnamese Army, Dusty. This army is quite difficult to compete with since it was being allied with the Russians." - Cabbie replied -

"Oh, ok then." - Dusty realized -

Blade and the others then entered...

"Hey, guys. We're looking everywhere for both of you." - Blade said -

"Really? Is there a wildfire?" - Dusty asked -

"Nope, Dusty. There was none." - Blade replied -

Cabbie and Dusty both sighed in relief. Blade pondered on...

"What are guys doing here anyway?" - Blade asked -

"We're just talking with each other. Cabbie was just talking with me about his old memories during the Vietnam War long ago." - Dusty said -

"Want to join the group, Blade?" - Cabbie asked -

"Sure, Cabbie. Why not?" - Blade replied -

Blade and the others joined the group...

"So, Cabbie...What's your stories?" - Dynamite asked -

"Hmm?" - Cabbie pondered -

"Tell us about your past, Cabbie. We're all here to hear it." - Dipper said -

Cabbie then sighed with a smile...

"Ok, guys. Listen to me carefully then." - Cabbie said -

Everyone then paid their full attention to Cabbie. Cabbie clears his throat before he retold his stories...

During the first phrases of the Vietnam War, i'm being drafted to the war effort to conduct transport and sorties of military units. Despite our well-armed forces being sent to confront the war in Vietnam, we're being outnumbered by 5:3, 15:1 or whatsoever to the enemy's resistance.

One day, i'm in the air field of Khe Sahn, awaiting next trials and missions from my superiors. A pair of F-18 Hornets and a Corsair approached him...

"Good day, Cabbie. My name is Skipper Riley and this is my partners Bravo and Echo. We're the air units that you wanted to have a chat with." - Skipper introduced -

"Oh, yeah! Good to meet you too, guys. I would like to have a quick chat about the military's updated intelligence fro yesterday's recon patrol." - Cabbie replied -

"Let's hear it then." - Skipper said -

Cabbie clears his throat and shows them a few photos of enemy installations...

"Here is the pictures taken from yesterday, guys. According to these, the enemy installations were being situated right near to the riverbanks and small forests. We don't send any aircraft to these areas since it was being guarded by SAMs and Bofors Guns." - Cabbie stated -

"Casualties?" - Skipper asked -

"We lost a few planes in these areas. Mostly F-4 Phantoms." - Cabbie replied -

"Don't worry about it, Cabbie. We're handling these issues." - Bravo reassured -

"Yeah! We're advanced jet fighters and we can eliminate enemy installations with ease." - Echo added -

"Uhh...Ok then. Just be careful out there and watch out for these AA Defenses." - Cabbie said -

"Roger that!" - Bravo and Echo both replied in unison, saluting them both with their wings folded to their heads -

The F-18 Super Hornets left them. Cabbie and Skipper were looking at each other...

"Here goes the neighborhood!" - Skipper said -

Cabbie chuckled along.

This is the end of Chapter 1. Cabbie finally retold to Dusty and the others about his memories in the Vietnam War along with Skipper Riley, Bravo and Echo. Stay tuned for Chapter 2, everyone!
