Does anyone have or know where I can get a copy of this "interview"? I had a copy but it "vanished" when I PCSd from Germany. For those not in the know; it's a supposed interview of an F-4C pilot, in Vietnam and an American newsman with an Air Force PR man present to translate the Captains answers into the "company line". Always enjoyed it and I'm sure many younger troops would too. Thanks in advance.

One of the last things I do after catching up on all the new posts is to scroll down to the bottom & check out the profiles of any new members. Well, our new member for today (1/23/10) is none other than Loren Cooper. I imagine one of the old timers from the old C-130 HQ site is having some fun. Don R.

http://tinyurl.com/yjjuhhn DEADLY PARASITE FROM VIETNAM NOW WIDOW'S BATTLE Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare cancer of the bile ducts caused by parasites found in some drinking water Veteran's widow battles killer parasite from Vietnam Horseheads woman raises alert about cancer-causing disease by Roger Neumann In the cruel way that war sometimes works, Vietnam killed Pete Harrison nearly 36 years after he came home. Elusive as they were, Pete thought he knew his enemies over there. The Viet Cong. The North Vietnamese. Their sympathizers. Nobody ever warned him about parasites in the water he drank, but they were there. Nobody ever mentioned the parasite…

I drove down to Kokomo yesterday on company business and was passing Grissom on my way back so I thought I would stop and look around. It's called the Grissom Aeroplex. The museum was closed but took a few pics over the fence. I was stationed there early 76 to Jun 77; back when it was SAC. Base housing is now "Villages at Eagles Point" or something like that. They put siding over the stucco and closed most of the carports into garages and sold old Capehart housing as condos! Found my old house, didn't look too bad, but in general the place is a slum....cars parked in yards, doors hanging off, trashcans in front of the houses and just generally unkept. The Air Rese…

The Fix There recently was an article in the St. Petersburg Fl. Times. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on: "How Would You Fix the Economy?"I think this guy nailed it! Dear Mr. President, Please find below my suggestion for fixing America 's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the "Patriotic Retirement Plan": There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations: 1) They MUST retire. Forty mill…

Crisis Looms: Emergency Talks Break Down at UK HQ............[another problem created by organized labour] Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda management have so far failed to produce an agreement. The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the number of virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death will be cut by 20% next January from 72 to only 60. The rationale for the cut was the increase in recent years of the number of suicide bombings and a subsequent shortage of virgins in the after…

For all you old-timers out there, check out this flying model of Ole Shakey. The clamshell doors even open. The only things missing are the sexy rumble of the 4360's and the squeeling brakes. I think the model flies faster than the real thing!!! http://www.rcuvideos.com/video/Douglas-C-124a Don R.

Figured I would start a new thread for this and not bolox up my post about the MOH. There is NO CLASSIFIED or Sensitive, or OPSEC related information in this post, lets just get that out there right off the top Gary (and all, if your interested), take a look at the Wikipedia article on "the battle for Roberts Ridge and Op Anaconda - lots of disinformation there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Anaconda like this example Chapman was gunned down, hard, not even five minutes after they sat down and engaged, and then several mortar shells landing not ten feet from the body later on! If he got up and fought later, he sure didn't do it this dimen…

This has long been in the photo album. It brings back many memories for myself. Forgot to share it last year. This year I remembered. It was originally published in the Philippine Flyer, which was the base paper for Clark. I want to say the date it was published is either in 1975 or 1976. T'was the Night Before Christmas Adapted by Barri E. Burrows T’was the night before Christmas In my Philippine hut. Not a creature was stirring, Not even the mutt. The medyas were hung from the mesa with care In hope that St. Nicholas would soon be there. The children perspired on their open air beds, While dreams of air conditioning danced in their heads.
