Bill writes: I was assigned to the 362nd TEWS in May 1969 as an EC-47 Navigator and departed in May of 1970 just before the 362nd moved to Danang. We covered I and II Corps.

During that period we lost Cap 52 to 37mm fire in the Au Shaw Valley area. The round came thru the floor in the vicinity of the Navigators station and cut the elevator cables. They flew for about 20 minutes with the crew running up and down the isle to level the plane. But as it slowed to touch down at an abandoned Air Field in the Au Shaw Valley, the nose came down and they hit hard, killing the Aircraft Commander Lt. Wall. The Co-Pilot was scalped by the top of the windshield frame but survived.

Another lost was at Phu Bai as one of the Cap birds was taking off, a double bladed Chinook banked on take- off and blew the Cap bird upsidedown on take-off roll. Others lost in the revetments by 122 mm rocket attacks.

My Aircraft Commander was the infamous Bull Durham of SAC bomber fame. Bull wrote songs, sang and played the guitar. Had several records produced about life in SAC.

I was the Information Officer and we turned out a great yearbook.

Just relocated to Albuquerque,NM. Your site is an inspiration to the memory of not only those whose lives were lost in SEA, but to those of living who returned with the memories and valor and honor to carry to the next generation of airman.

A20331 - Det 2 6994th SS (12/72-03/73) - Det 3 6994th SS (03/73-08/73)

From May 14, 2000 from Jerry Dennis, Albuquerque, NM I find your site very beneficial and informative to those of us who served with the 6994th Security Squadron. In October 1972, I was given the choice to fly the Electric Goon at Danang, RVN, or be sent to the 6908th Security Squadron at NKP, Thailand.

I'm happy to say that I chose the Det 2, 6994th SS (and later transferred to Det 3, 6994th SS, Ubon RTAFB, Thailand. Over the past twenty-five plus years, I have given serious thought to my role in this unit. Every day, my memories give rise to the pride and honor felt as a result of my participation with this unit.

I have a display of my awards and decorations resulting from this participation. At the top of the display is a picture of me in my flight suit in front of the tail section of one of the EC-47's at Ubon. Below it is my Combat Crewmember Wings, which I feel great honor to have earned. I feel a part of history. May each person who participated in this unit also feel he is a part of a unit which "flew unarmed and alone" and contributed his own part to this mission. Jerry Dennis

I was "Z1" on acft 049570 on 15 May 1974. 570 along with 76304 flew the final combat missions of the war on that date. The dates of my TDY and PCS are approximate.

Received from Alex Canterbury

Alex writes, I was stationed at 6994th Det. 1 Nha Trang begining 5 Nov 68. That was election day for the Presidential Election, and the day I also turned 21. I was going thru my schooling, getting ready to ship to Viet Nam, so my Dad had to get my absential ballot. Because I wasn't yet 21 at that time, he had quite a bit of trouble getting it for me. All in all, quite a memory for my first day in country.

I can still remember the blast of heat that hit me in my face as I left the plane after arriving at Cam Rahn Bay. I also was envolved in the move from Nha Trang to Phu Cat. I don't remember the month but it was about August of 1969. In Oct 1969 I took my R&R in Sydney. Upon my return to Phu Cat, I noticed that all the men were bummed out.

That is when I found out that we had lost an EC-47, all crew lost. Sgt Stiglich and Sgt. Hall were the RO's on that flight. I was told that Sgt. Hall had replaced another RO on that flight. I don't remember that man's name. Also, I was told that they had thought that the plane had taken ground fire that hit the generator, located in the tail end, and the resulting fire had burnt through the control cables controlling the rudder and tail flaps. Anyway, that was the scuttle butt.

I have enjoyed viewing the web site. It has brought back many memories that had been buried for many years. I have a few pictures. Some of our barracks in Nha Trang, and a few pics of our barracks in Phu Cat. Also a few last mission pics on which there were 3 last mission flyers on the same mission.

I was pulling the overnight CQ at the Ops bldg and answered the phone when Rodney's family called from the States to see if we'd heard anything. No, we hadn't at that point...tough call to take.
