The helicopter proceeded from Camp Evans RVN generally to the south, turned left and flew parallel to highway 1 on a heading of northwest. An abnormal vibration was felt in the aircraft and the aircraft commander elected to make a precautionary landing immediately. An approach was set up to a clear area 1 mile northwest of Camp Evans. On terminating the approach, directional control was lost at an approximate altitude of 10 feet and the helicopter entered an uncontrollable right turn. The aircraft commander closed the throttle and landed the aircraft. On touchdown the helicopter sustained major damage to the landing gear, the landing gear attaching points and belly of the helicopter. None of the four crew members were injured
