Email Address: [email protected] Postal Address: P.O. Box 3743 Hickory, NC 28603 I was stationed at DaNang as a Co-Pilot with the 362nd Tactical Electronics Warfare Squadron from Jan. 1972 thru Nov. 1972l Hello Jim, Here is the info and in addition I need some info for the VA. I am trying to find out the names of the guys from the 362ns TEWS that were injured and the guy that was killed in a rocket attack in or about May 1972. That attack took the life of an AC-119 pilot in front of 362nd barracks and injured 2 of our Lt copilots and a Maj nav. Any Ideas? Comments: I entered country with orders for TSN, but when I arrived they said that I was needed in Danang. I drug my feet all the way to Danang. I had heard too many stories about that place. When I checked in with the Sq. Commander he said they needed ACs not SICs and I should hang out and someone would get me started on a local check out in a couple of weeks. I was assigned as assistant Hooch Bar Officer. This allowed me to hang out at the bar and plan parties. After all I did major in Recreation in Col. We had a pretty good bar and I stayed busy keeping it stocked and managing the one bar girl. I usually helped her wait bar and lift the heavy boxes and such. About half way through my year my boss went to NKP and I became the manager and got an assistant. We also had to find a new place to house the bar. I managed to acquire a trailer from across the base that the FAC squadron had left. Red Horse moved it for a couple of bottles of liquor and a case of beer. The Sq Commander was happy but didn't want to know any of the details. I got to fly some while there but not near enough. It wouldn't have been too bad except for the rockets. I really got tired of hearing Rockets, Rockets, Rockets...Danang is under attack. One night a AC-119 pilot received injuries that later took his life in front of our barracks. In addition 2 of our Lt copilots took shrapnel a Maj nav los an eye and a finger. Any body out there know the names of those guys? War is never a good thing. I pray that humanity will reach a level of enlightenment that will allow us to settle our difference peacefully.

Hello J.C. I stumble upon your web page while looking for information about a mission flown on March 1st. 1971 out of NKP. My Father was at NKP during 1970-1971 with DET 3 6994 / or maybe it was 6908, all the pics have 6994 but I think he said 6908. He flew over Cambodia & Laos. I only recently learned of my father's (Ken Kessler) Distinguished Flying Cross medal and flight medals. He has been ill and was in the hospital with Kidney failure... we almost lost him but he pulled through. In his state of delirium he talked about NKP and the guys he was with. I realized this was something he wanted us to know and remember, a highlight of his military career. I went to his house and found his medals and a box full of pictures he took while at NKP. After looking at your web page I recognized a few of the names from different places we have lived. Mr. Dickerson "skeeter" and his wife were very close family friends of ours in England, when my father was stationed at Bentwaters AFB, he worked on an island called (sp) Orford nest. Sorry don't mean to ramble just excited. I have shared this page with my father in hopes of reconnecting with a few of his old friends and hopefully share some of his photos. I would like to add him to your list if that is ok. Looking forward to hearing from you. Anna Kessler Johnson Email Address: [email protected] Postal Address: Not Given
