Hello all, I have just come across the following item for sale on EBAY....170th AHC VIETNAM WAR HOME MOVIES DVD PLEIKU DAK TO BIKINIS & BUCCANEERS HUEY.This DVD is for sale for $24.95 and on the preview clearly shows the remains of the two C-130E Hercules hit and set on fire at DAK TO airfield on 15th November 1967 by VC Mortar fire....on the preview it describes how a brave helicopter pilot got into a third Hercules and backed it away from the conflagration...saving it from destruction too.The preview clearly shows DH as the tailcode of one aircraft (345 TAS 62-1865)  whilst the other is so damaged on the tailplne area you cannot quite see it I know it is 776 TAS 63-7827 with DL tailcode.Both lost aircraft were listed from the 776 TAS because the flight crews were from that squadron.Thankfully nobody was killed. does anyone have any comments on this?
