I got to fly 108 missions. It was a great job, and I worked with terrific people. I also got to do a lot of wild and crazy stuff. Would like to hear from Nick Keen, Bob Salisbury and any of the old Bravo Maintenance guys. I retired in 1989 as a Capt, and moved to Nevada. I have 3 grand kids and am doing fine.

Frank says he was a 1Lt assigned to the 361st Tactical Electronics Warfare Squadron as a Pilot. He arrived at NKP, Thailand in August of 1973. Flew out of there and Ubon through May 1974, flew a total of 75 missions. Frank was aboard on of the last missions to fly, on May 15th, 1974.

I think I have some pictures of the last days missions myself, at least the crew that I was on, which I believe was the second to last to land that day. I remember Skeeter and that moment taxiing in with his sombrero and the smoke flare.

Pleasant surprise finding this web site in the DAV Magazine. I plan on logging in as often as possible and I appreciate you taking the lead on developing the site to give all of the alumni a chance to look up old friends and maybe renew acquaintences. Thanks, Jerry

I am going to include a number of men I served with who were not listed on the roster:
Donald Dailey, Maine
Tom Courtney, Georgia
Mike Denen, Rockford, Ilinois
Ed Schwab, Erie, Pa.
Clinton Buzzell, Vermont/New Hampshire?

Wesley says he was assigned to the 14FMS and 37AMS at Nha Trang and Phu Cat as a Doppler Repairman and moved along with the aircraft when they moved from Nha Trang to Phu Cat on September 9, 1969. He arrived at Nha Trang on 31 Jan. 1969 and left Phu Cat on 13 Oct. 1969.

Raymond was an Aircraft Mechanic with the 360th Tactical Electronics Warfare Squadron at Tan Son Nhut in 1969/70.

Lloyd was with the 6994th Security Squadron at Tan Son Nhut from Sept. 1966 to Sept. 1967.

Alvin had this to say about his tour with the EC=47's. I was in the 360th TEWS as an aircraft commander and Asst Ops Officer at TSN. Flew 133 missions between Dec. 66 and Dec 67. Our Flight Engineer was Sgt Luther Pat Powell. And I believe he and his wife will go to the reunion. The last reunion I went to was in San Antonio. I remember picking up Pat Powell and Roy Gentry in my Bonanza.
I recently found a set of orders where in Oct 67 we took a bird from Ton Son Nhut to Taipei, Taiwan for IRAN. That was one of the nicer things that happened to me. The rest of the crew that trip were: Major Robert O. Lorenzi FV737164, Major James Arthur FV938645 and SSGT Lohr D. Pickering AF15605862
We ferried a new bird from the states over Christmas in 66. The trip was from Miami, but the rest of the crew picked me up in Tucson, AZ where I left my family. I was a grandfather by then and had spent a year in Korea flying F-86's.

Just a note to say thanks for the site, I had completely forgotten about the "good old Days" in that aircraft. I was in the 6994th from September of 67 until July of 68 and flew as a 292 backender. I can still remember some of the aircraft, Balls 9, Patches, Arkansas razorback, we really had great nose art. I can also remember that black day, the morning after TET when the commander of the 6994th sent me and and another operator to the flightline to gather info for a "Battle Damage Assessment Report" for HQ USAFSS. I think that out of 17 or so aircraft we sustained major damage to 75% of the airframes. What really got my attention, was the plane parked on the open flightline with a Russian 122 rocket still sticking through the wing. I really enjoyed my time with "Antique Airlines" and I moved from there to Germany to fly in the EC-130's.

I saw mention of this site in the DAV magazine and the EC-47 hit me between the eyes, I couldn't wait to visit. I will be back and will share what I can remember with you.

Steve says he was with the 6994TH SS from 6/73 to 6/74 in MAINTENANCE / ECM NKP & UBON.

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR SITE FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. I FLEW MAINTENANCE ON THE EC-47'S, FIRST OUT OF NKP AND THEN I WAS TRANSFERRED DOWN TO UBON. I WAS ON ONE OF THE CREWS FOR THE LAST MISSION, MAY 15, 1974, FLYING ON 570. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND I WAS NOT LISTED ON THE 6994TH ROSTER. IS THAT A DEFINIATIVE LISTING??? ANYWAY, I REALLY ENJOY YOUR SITE AND IT BRINGS BACK SOME FOND MEMORIES. IT'S HARD TO REMEMBER THE NAMES OF ALL THOSE GUYS FROM THE PAST, BUT I DEFINITELY REMEMBER STAN POYAS AND STAN RAMSEY. STAN RAMSEY WAS ALWAYS THE ONE TO GIVE ME MY STAN EVAL WHILE AT THE 6990TH. HE WAS ALSO THE ONE TO WITNESS MY POURING OF BEER OVER THE SQUADRON COMMANDERS HEAD, JUST AS THE COMMANDER HAD ARRIVED AT THE PICNIC FROM HIS FINAL EC-47 FLIGHT ON THE MAY 15TH. I GUESS THE CHAMPAIGN THEY GAVE US WHEN WE LANDED HAD ALREADY GONE TO MY HEAD. ANYWAY, I SEE THAT STAN IS GONE NOW. I'M SORRY TO LEARN OF HIS DEATH. STAN POYAS AND I WERE FRIENDS, AND WE HUNG AROUND TOGETHER. THE LAST I SAW OF STAN, HE WAS LEAVING TO BACK TO NKP AND OVERSEE THE DISMANTLING OF THE PLANES. THAT REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER PERSON. WAYNE OPPERMAN WAS WITH STAN, GOING BACK TO NKP. WELL, THANKS FOR LISTENING AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS GREAT WEB SITE.

Albert J. Adams, ret TSgt was in the Nam in 69-70 at Pleiku Danang flying with USAFSS as a back end crew supervisor, flew with Connors & Erhorn and still think of them both often, it was a terrible loss to us all, especially their families. We had such a great record with so few losses, but as you know, any loss is one too many. I run a small Insurance Agency, WEB page aladamsinsurance.tripod.com and stumpjumper.tmalife.com Over 20 years I was in Scotland, England, Italy, Taiwan, The Nam, TDY'S to Crete, Germany, Phillipines,. Okinawa, one PCS in San Antonio for less than a year prior to going to the Nam & some TDY's @ NSA. Now you know the "Rest of the Story".

I love your site and I am still searching through it. Good Job.

John says, I was reading the most recent edition of the AFA Magazine and I found this web site under reunions in the back. I was a copilot in the 361st and spent most of mine time Jan 73-Nov 73 at Ubon. LtCols Ken Adair and Frank Elam were my commanders while I was there. My principal AC was Stephen Crane until he returned to the states. I will try to contact some of the names I can remember from your contact list and the reunion in May Wright Pat.
