1969-70 I flew it in Viet nam. It was an incredable aircraft. Took alot of battle damage and still would get me home every time but alas she sits in about 2000ft of water of the coast of one of the japanese islands. One of the blade lost its deicing strips and the crew had to land in the water where I am told it floated for about 45min and then sank. I dont know who the pilots were but the crew chief was Jerry Greer | |||
1978-1979, I crewed this Bird in Okinawa with HMM-161. She was know as "Carelson's Magic Bus.. HMM-161 |
