Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
Roger Yancey
Charlie Poole
Walter (Jack) Webb

Best Moment
With Jack Web, being instrumental in the assisted defense and rescue of a downed Navy fighter crew under attack by NVN gunboats.
Cruisin' the "Black" clubs with Roger Yancey in Udorn & Korat.

   

Worst Moment
F105 crash on runway and loss of many Thai and U.S. Firefighters.
Puking in my helmet bag during severe wx landing.
Getting notified, while airborne by Jack Webb that "We was robbed" at our hootch and everthing we had was stolen..even our underwear. He claimed he was "gassed", har!

Other Memories
Sawadee parties, poker games and great comraderie of all crews. Sqdn Cmdr was a peach of a guy.
