What does "FSH" mean?

It's a Vietnam War era Wild Weasel pilot patch of sort, I think.

IIRC, FSH (Family Separation and Housing)..when aircrews were deployed for a certain amount of time, it was extra pay that kicked in.

FSH is the sound a rocket makes as it takes off.  I assume that's what it is.

F@cking Sam Hell

That would be my guess. Onomatopoeia for the rushing sound of a rocket launch.

I've always thought it's Snoopy who says FSH, and it might be referring to Fan Song radar system.

I am totally guessing: "Foxtrot Sierra Hotel" or F'n Shit Hot"

I know pilots, especially of that era used the term "Sierra Hotel" or "Shit hot" to describe a crazy or adrenaline filled experience. Not sure about the 'F' though.

A REALLY good pilot was also sometimes referred to as Sierra Hotel.  Rarely to their face, though.

Was just coming to post this.

I imagine having a telephone pole sized projectile tracking your every move in the hopes of riddling you & your aircraft with shrapnel or blowing all to tiny pieces would be "intense..."

Especially since the NVA liked to launch mulitples at a time...  Uber Intense!

Is that a blue falcon?

Freaking shoot him


no idea

That is how it is referenced on this page.

Another example (and there are a bunch).

YGBSM!

If I remember correctly the first SA-2 'flight examiner' patches were originally made up to be a play on the normal Flight Examiner Shoulder patches that stan-eval pilots would war on their flight suit shoulders. They were originally shaped like the standard '100 mission' patches with the shield in the center and in the shield
the type aircraft  the pilot qualified in. Some of the stan-eval
guys would get their patches modified with their type and the SA-2 appearing crossed in the shield after the first time they were shot at and missed while TDY.






now if you were a Weasel pilot and wore SAM Qualified instead of a SAM Flight Examiner patch on your shoulder it signified that you had scored a hard ordnance kill of a SAM site, meaning you scored the kill using either clusters or bombs, AGM hits (Shrike kills) didnt count.
