SamMcGowan Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I got an Email from Bill Gunkle's daughter Stepanie. Bill passed away in 2004 of cancer and she would like to hear from people who knew him. When I met him he was a pilot at CCK and Charlie Shaub was his loadmaster. This was in 1969 or early 1970 and I think they were in the 50th but not certain of that. Bill told me several stories that I put in my C-130 book. If you knew Bill and would like to get in touch with Stephanie, send me an Email at [email protected] and I'll put you in touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC10FE Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Sam, I flew with Bill a lot in the 37th @ Rhein Main. Great guy -- great party guy. Perhaps you'd like to forward this photo taken from the Rhein Main's base paper 5/30/80. The FE, the black guy on the left got his ass chewed out by the wing commander for his haircut -- or lack of.
