2. bombing a sampan with a FULL BOX of leaflets

3. a Goon wounded in the right wing on take-off from TSN by a short-fused mortar round

4. the Tet 1967 mortar attack on TSN

5. a generator "stolen" from the flight ops area at TSN

6. grounding of Goons for examination because of wing root failures

7. on-the-air chess games via the FM radios

8. a race horse named Dinky Dau

9. the attempt to get a REAL tiger cub as a 6994th mascot

10. SSgt Duke Thompson's "draft notice"

11. Hydraulic failure "cured" with the contents of various oil cans, thermos bottles and any other lilquid available
