I know someone who was in Vietnam during the war, he was in the U.S. Air Force and he says he was a gunner on a helicopter. Would anyone know if someone in the Air Force would serve aboard an Army helicopter?

Air force had their own rides. UH-1, and H-53, to name a few, both had gunners.

During Vietnam anything is possible. Ask him if he can show you his DD214, and if he doesn't know what that piece of paper is, than he was definately not in the military. A DD214 is your discharge from the service.

Yes. In the military, you can be attached to another branch of service if your MOS is needed there.

Circumstances can certainly dictate it. It is possible.
