Received from, Ray Abeyta.
Ray says he was in Vietnam with the 360th Tactical Electronics Warfare Squadron from May 1967 to Jan. 1969. I was an aircraft mechanic during my 18 month tour , and spent several TDY'S in Phu Bai.We would go up and spend several weeks at a time, working on our planes and just keeping them available for duty. For some reason I see lots of photos of the crews but not too many of the maintenance crew. I'm going to go through my photo albums and send some off to you,and maybe someone will recognize these old fellas. |

Charles called about the upcoming reunion, he had read the notice in one of the Air Force Publications. He will not be able to attend the reunion due to health conditions but wished everyone well. Charles was assigned to the 361st Tactical Electronics Warfare Squadron at Nha Trang. He arrived as a Major and made Lt. Col. and became Chief of Stan/Eval upon the departure of Lt. Col. Frank Hinkle, my Aircraft Commander. He had a tale to tell about the TET Offensive. He said he was just leaving the shower wearing his shower shoes when the first rocket hit just across the street. He said believe it or not, you can burn rubber in a pair of shower shoes. Charles does not have email or internet capibilities but his postal address is listed on the EC-47 Association Roster. (These are my comments.) I feel sure he would love to hear from some old friends from that era as his health keeps him pretty confined. |

Wright Pat is only 30 mins from home, so it's a great location. In fact, the entire family plans to attend to learn more about what he and the other guys did for our county. He is planning to come I am very impressed with the site and the history it has to tell about the brave men in the unit. Way to go! |
