Mark writes, I was a Sgt 202 with the 6994th Det 3 at NKP from December 72 until October 73. I arrived at NKP a couple weeks before the Christmas bombing at Hanoi started on Dec 72. If I remember correctly a B-52 crashed outside our base during this time. I roomed with Robert D.Trimble (Nimbus) who I would like to find out where he is. If anybody has any info let me know. |

J.J. writes, I was a SSgt with the 6994th Security Squadron at Pleiku and Danang. I served as an AMS/IRO, 1969,70,71&72. I flew 352 enjoyable missions with some of the best people I ever encounter in my 22 years career. Have been attending the reunions in San Antonio each year and really enjoy renewing the friendships that were established during that period of my life. It is amazing how many of us survived inspite of ourselves. Just proud to have been part of something that was really great and treasure the friends and memories. Can't tell any war stories because there are too many people still alive that probably wouldn't want their grandchildren to know what really went on. That includes me |

Michael writes, I was a Captain assigned to the 362nd Tactical Electronics Warfare Squadron at Danang from November 1970 to November 1971. Served as Squadron Intel Officer--ran the intel shop 24/7 with myself and two sgts. Did typical intel stuff--aircrew briefing, update survival training, security etc. Dodged rockets (still have a box full of fragments). Had 7 EC-47 missions, primarily to and from NKP. I had to go over there periodically to brief NKP intel personnel on how they should do our aircrew mission briefings. Left active duty in late '71, went into the AF reserves, still as an Intel Officer. Was recalled for Desert Storm, and retired as a Col. in April 1997. Cheers, and hope to see you in 2002 (I work at W-P, so am very near the AF Museum) Mike Self Address is: [email protected] |

Received from Joseph W. Felock, Jr. Midwest City, Oklahoma
Joe writes, I was at Tan Son Nhut in the 360th TEWS as a Pilot, Aircraft Commander, Instructor Pilot and Functional Check Flight Pilot. My tour ran from Feb. 1967 to Feb. 1968. I have many memories starting with being part of ferry crew #31 with Irv Durban (AC), Billy Sullivan (P), Dave Rice (N) and Vince Fierro (FM). Rough engine enroute McClellan to Elmendorf. Delay at Elmendorf for prop change. Still problem. Maintenance found contaminated fuel - water from heavy rains at McClellan seeped into storage tanks. -- Lost Doppler Nav at Wake Island. No repair capability. Flew formation with Jack Lord & crew (#33) to Guam where repairs accomplished. Vivid memories of TDY to Phu Bai when VC and NVA attacked base at night. Like a John Wayne movie but with real bullets. Spent night in bunker - couldn't get to aircraft. Marines did terrific job in defending the base. Fortunately no damage to a/c. Many memorable events intervened before return to US. Tour ended with TET. Were able to be one of two crews to make it to TSN. Alternated missions with the other crew. Heavy activity around TSN necessitated silent taxi, engine run-up while taxiing, no lights, T/O from center third of runway. |

14 November, Mike wrote: I was a co-pilot on N, P and Q models from Oct 73 thru Jun 74. Brought 009 back from Ubon on the final rotation return flight to NKP. Flew most of the time with Dave Brandt (pilot) and Jesse (sp?)Baldock (nav). I think I was in the 2nd or third last class for ECs at Hurlburt. On arrival at NKP, as was usual, I was "elected" the "dog control" officer for couple of weeks until the next new 2nd Lt came in, taking care of Lady Sux (sp?) and QC. I think I may have one of the last rosters with new/next assignment addresses for the pilots and navs from the 361st TEWS, made up about June 1st of '74. Was an additional duty sqqadron training officer. At one snap shot in time during my tour with the 361st, there were 29 2nd Lts and 29 Lt Cols; I guess it could be said each Lt Col had his own "valet". I live in Fairborn,OH and bump into Gary Williams about every six months. I was in the 361st TEWS, 73-74 at NKP Mike Maroney |

Hi, my name is Norman T. Lee, USAF Retired, and I was at DaNang from January 71-April 73. I was a SRO and First Sgt while stationed at DaNang and aided in our closure. Was also at DaNang at Easter 71 or 72 when we were evacuated to NKP and Saigon due to the NVA driving on DaNang. They said they would be eating in our Dining Hall by Easter Sunday, but thanks to the USS America and a whole lot of Marines, it never happened. Add my name to your list, please.

George writes; I was a SSgt assigned to Detachment 1, 6994th Security Squadron at Nha Trang as an Instructor RO in 1966/67. I flew 107 missions during my tour. Arrived at Nha Trang in Aug 66 with the "second" wave. At that time, there were no quarters on base for the NCO's so we "had" to live downtown. My self along 8 or 10 other guys rented a house downtown Nha Trang at 8 Le Lai St. A couple of times our doppler didn't work and we sort of strayed across the DMZ, going north - but made a very quick u-turn.
